NTAPA is a gathering of a group of restless photo lovers. On top of the Association’s monthly schedules, members also arrange their own personal programs.
A quick review of the past 6 months and near future activities:
1. Dr. Lai and Master Chin had two joined winter photo trips to Northern states of the county in February.
2. Master April Kao had her Tibet photo exhibition in Denison in March.
3. JJ Lin led a team of 10 toured Southwest China in March and April.
4. Master Chin had his personal photo exhibition in Taipei in early May.
5. Master April Kao had a South Chin photo tour with friends in May
6. Walt Hsu made at least two photo trips to Taiwan during April and June.
7. Dr. Lai and Richardson Chen had a Northwest coast photo tour in June.
8. JJ had another China tour to Sinkiang and just came back not too long ago.
9. Lin went to North CA for seashore scenic shooting and old painting class.
10. Master Chin and Walt Hsu are still in Montana for ranch photo and video shooting now.
11. Believe or not, after the group downtown building photographying tour on 7/7, Dr. Lai and I kept going the same place for the rest 5 days. Last time with Ming Zing 3 persons, both Dr. Lai and Ming almost caught very HUGE fish in the Trinity River while we were waiting for the sunset and passing by airplanes. The fish were too heavy and strong that their threads were always broken when pulling almost to the bank. Exciting!
12. On August 3, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Chen will start a 10,000+ mile photo trip to Alaska by driving! Anyone interested to join them?
13. Dr. Lai will also fly to Alaska in September for photographing aurora borealis.
14. Ming Zing will explorer the arctic in September or later.
15. You may plan something at this moment, too!
