Photography Assignments
We are introducing a quarterly photography assignment in which the members are free to create images on their own and at their convenience over the course of a few months on a particular subject. This will allow members to create a portfolio of images based on the assigned subject that is completely different from one another, something that is difficult to do when taking a group trip where everyone is lined up side-by-side taking the same image at the same time in the same conditions. At the end of the quarter, we will have a print night to showcase the work of each member that participated in the assignment. Interpret the subject as you see fit, travel by yourself, or go with a few other members. Try to get all your images during a single trip or go back every day; it’s completely up to you.

December is the Photo Collective Annual Christmas Party
When: Saturday, December 10th
Time: 5 p.m.
Location: Rob Bearden's Residence
(Wharf Drive) 13600 Yosemite Blvd, Waterford
You are invited to join us for our Annual Christmas Party.
You enter through a gated community so will need to punch in code 6148 for Rob to open the gate when you arrive. Rob's property is on Wharf Drive which is in the back of the gated subdivision. Once through the gate, you can find Rob's home by taking the 1st left followed by the 1st right, then the 1st left and finally the 2nd right.
Please RSVP to Rob, photoclick2@sbcglobal.net or (209) 556-2441.
Rob will provide plates, cups, etc. He will also have punch.
Bring:
We will be having our annual portfolio exchange during the party. To participate you simply pick one of your favorite images and print an 8x10 for each of the other people participating. So, if 10 others are participating in the exchange you'll come with 9 prints (you don't need to give yourself one). The idea of the exchange is that at evenings end, each person participating will go home with a portfolio of images from the other group members. 11 members at the last meeting said they would be participating in the exchange. If you did not come to the meeting and would like to participate please let Ed, (209) 541-1815, know so he can update everyone, otherwise no one will make the correct number of prints.
