Our members are a peripatetic bunch and when they were asked to name some of their favorite places for photography, the answers were varied. These recollections come from our 2005 newsletter, the Color News. From time to time, we will add more “Favorite Places†to this column. Naturally, we’d love to hear your favorite place too, so please send it along to the editor of the Color News. We’ll print it for others to enjoy.
