These lively and informal events are held only three times a year, so it does not pay to miss even one! The photographic category is “Anything Goes”. In other words bring in any print you wish…. from Nature to Creative, and anything in between. Also, feel free to even bring in a print that you’ve had trouble with. The discussion is always interesting.Many of our print makers produce their own prints at home in their Digital Darkrooms. Those who do this find print making a most satisfying and creative venture. Alan Heald, Print Chair, indicates that it is perfectly acceptable to display prints that have been produced at a commercial lab.
If you think you might enjoy getting into the print making, come and check out Print Night. Come and talk to our print makers about the process. If you just want to see what our print makers are up to, that’s fine as well.
For those of you who haven’t attended in a while, we’d love to have you back to check out what we are doing these days. These meetings are informal and informative and fun!

“Bears of North America Black, Brown, Cinnamon and the Lords of the North.” Rebecca Jackrel
Welcome to my passion: Bears! From the deep Minnesota forest to the Alaskan coastline and beyond the frozen Canadian tundra, the Bear reigns as one of the top predators in North America. Photographing these giants can be rewarding and exhilarating. Join me for a night of black and white bears and the shades between to discover locations where you can safely observe and photograph these majestic creatures!

The PSA (Photographic Society of America) will hold its 2008 conference in Portland this year. Since it’s just up the road, so to speak, this one is an easy conference to take in. Some 50 presenters are scheduled along with workshops, photo tours, classes and meetings. The hotel is the Marriot Downtown Waterfront Hotel. Lots of information and a registration form are at the PSA website or in the PSA Journal.
Remember, Photochrome is a member of PSA as are some individual members of the Club. However, you do not have to be a member to attend this week-long conference of photographers. (It may cost a bit more to register)
