General:
[06/20/2007] Because of doing the People's Choice for the photo contest, the Meeting was held in the Activity Center of DFW Technology this evening. It was another great meeting. We had more than 20 members and visitors present, including some senior members such as Denis Chin, April Kao, Fulchu Li, David Hsu, Walt Hsu and Li Su, etc.
As usual, the meeting was chaired by the President, Pauline Chen. Except some photo sharing, our Chin Master gave a presentation of his recent trips to Taiwan and Montana with 86 photos of the huge Montana ranches taken last month. His half century long photography experience has explored a different angle of viewing the art of the light and image arrangements.
Congratulations! David Hsu, one of our pioneers of NTAPA, has been elected as the 2007-2008 President of NTCCTCC. He just came back from Mexico City one day ago and will fly to LA tomorrow.
Being a true photography lover, David was also present in the meeting despite his tight schedules. He gave us a vivid and interesting presentation, sharing his experience and technologies on some of his bluebonnet trip photos.
One of the excited news is that David will be leading our next month activity, live model shooting class. In order to give plenty of time to study this first-time-in-life event (to most of the members,) the President has accounted that our next monthly meeting will be shifted from the usual Wednesday evening to Saturday afternoon. Please be aware that this is only a one time change.
Both advanced and beginner levels together, we have received more than 100 pictures entering for our 2007 First Photo Contest. All the pictures were displayed in the Activity Center for People’s Choice during the meeting. According to some senior members, the standard of the photos submitted, in general, is getting higher than it used to be. This means that the quality and techniques of the general NTAPA members are improving. Cheers!
Thanks to Walt Hsu, who collected, prepared and numbered each photo for the activity. For your info, the official judge will be held on 6/30 by our judging team. The results will be announced on 7/6, and of most importance, do come on 7/7 to our certificates and prizes for the winners’ party at this same location.
