The Photo Club will be having a pre-trip meeting for the Joshua Tree camping trip. Come and join us Wed. Oct 29 at 4pm in room EE250.
This camping trip is open to all. We'll be leaving Friday Nov. 7 and will be in Jumbo Rocks campground until Sunday Nov. 9. Make sure you contact Brian or Jeff or one of the photo club officers if you'd like to go. The campground is very busy and will fill up fast. We'll be going early and will reserve campsites for as many people we know will be going. There is no fee, but it does cost $10 per campsite and there is a $15 entrance fee to the park.
Joshua Tree National Park is about 2 and a half hours from Long Beach. It is beautiful high-desert country filled with, what else, Joshua Trees and strange rock formations. It is a nature and landscape photographers dream. Not into nature and landscape, then explore the small desert communities around the area, photograph the dinosaurs along the way, or just show up in the evening for the campfire.
We hope to see you there!

Juried Photo Show
Here is a great opportunity to get your work shown in a gallery. Start building up your resume.
Entries are now being accepted for this year's Michael Kellicutt International Juried Photo Show Through A Lens: Contrasting Elements. Entries will be received now through January 31st 2009. This year we are honored to introduce a panel of 3 jurors.
About the Theme
Capturing an image that shows an unusual combination or contrast is rewarding but can be challenging. Cause the viewer to pause and explore the relationships of the objects in the frame. Why are they together? How are they similar? How are they different?
About the Jurors
To provide the best evaluation of images we have a panel of three luminary jurors.
Charles Cramer
Charles Cramer has been photographing the landscape for 30 years. He is recognized as a master printmaker for his rare expertise in dye transfer printing-a nearly lost photographic art form-and his more recent mastery of digital printmaking processes. Photographs by Charles Cramer are available through fine photographic galleries, including the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite. He has taught digital imaging for the Ansel Adams Gallery Workshops, Palm Beach Workshops, West Coast Imaging, Anderson Ranch, The Lepp Institute, and in seminars co-sponsored by HP. Charles Cramer's landscape work has been published by National Geographic Books, Sierra Club, and the Yosemite Association. He has been profiled in PhotoTechniques, PhotoVision, and View Camera Magazines. He is also included in the book "Landscape: The World's Top Photographers," published by Rotovision.
