Holiday of Hope

Hello Auburn Photography Club!
My name is Jessica Wrench and my husband and I are putting together a Christmas event for families in need in Cayuga County. It's called Holiday of Hope. At the Holiday of Hope we provide dinner, free haircuts, a toy for each child from Santa, games, clothes and a family portrait. All free of charge. Our heart in this is to give families who may not have the best Christmas, a fun family event that will bring hope joy and love.
To make this event happen, we are looking for more photographers. And this is why I come to you! :) We are looking for photographers to volunteer some time to take family portraits at our event. It is on Sunday December 18th from 2-5pm at the old Steve & Barry's location at Finger Lakes Mall.
If any of you are interested, please message me on Facebook or email me at jessica (at) forsakengeneration.com
Thank you!
Merry Christmas!! :)

We're doing it again. That's a good thing. Newer members, and perhaps some older APC folks may not know this, but last year APC self published a book. It's actually still available here: http://ping.fm/fjegD
It turned out fairly well, and generated a small amount of revenue for the club, and individual members. We are planning to do it again, but there are a few minor changes. To help improve the overall look of the book, I'll be performing some image post-processing for people who allow me to do so. Blurb has done some things that make this a little easier. If you have a fair deal of confidence in your monitor calibration skill, you may want to opt out of this step. Another change is the timing. Last year, we published after Christmas. This time around, the book should be shipping in time for the holidays. In the interest of inclusion, nobody will be left out. It doesn't cost the club anything to print the book, so there really isn't an upside for excluding people. We want to publish a body of work that represents the current level of achievement for the club at this point in time. Everyone is encouraged to participate.

For complete details, send an email to auburnxc (at) gmail.com with APC BOOK in the subject line. The body of your message can be something as simple as "I'm in!."
Please respond by November 29.

Thanks, Don

Nuptials! Congratulations to Auburn Photography Club members, Dean Aversa & Rhonda Miller, who were married on November 12th. See photos from the big day in a book: http://ping.fm/Vu4ie

Winterfest Photo Contest?

Call for volunteers! APC is looking for members who may be interested in helping out with a tentatively scheduled (TBA) photography contest, held in conjunction with Winterfest. A lot needs to be done to put this together. Right off the bat, we would like to have at least one person representing APC at the Winterfest planning committee meeting, held 9:00 Tuesday, October 11, at the BID office in downtown Auburn. Please drop me a line if interested.

New York State Fair 2011

If you are headed to the Great New York State Fair this year, be sure to stop by the Harriet Mills Art and Home Center. You’ll find 10 images from the Auburn Photography Club hanging on the walls of the third floor! In a two-phased judging process, our work was among those selected from over 800 entries. The photography of Dean Aversa, Don Miller, and Drew Mosley gathered a whole bunch of ribbons, including a First, Second, and Third prize. This is by far the best showing our club has had in a contest of this magnitude. We couldn’t be happier. Congratulations to all entrants, and a big thank you to all Auburn Photography Club members for providing encouragement and inspiration.

Here’s a great image from Drew, titled Pirate Diver.
