Goodbye Petra, see you next year.

The September Photo Walk was alot of fun.  Thanks to the West Coast Railway Park and Double-Shutter Images for helping out.  Also thanks to the Squamish Chamber of Commerce for supporting us in their newsletter.

Petra,one of our founding members and the organizer of the two photowalks during the summer, is heading to Germany to take a university course.  We sent her off with a list of photo assignments and we will see her when she returns in the spring.  I copied her email below:

What a great turnout last night and I think everyone had a lot of fun. It was fantastic to be able to pick Cindy's and Michael's brains. Hopefully we can work with them more often.

And also a big thank you to all of you for the nice card and the photo assignments :) I'm touched and I will do my best to document the German lifestyle.

Keep taking lots of pictures so I can see what you're all up to!
See you next year,
Petra

September Photo Walk

I am very excited about our September Photo Walk.  Please read the details below and plan on attending on Thursday September 9.

Squamish Valley Photo Club
September Photo Walk
at the West Coast Railway Park
Thursday September 9, 2010 from 6pm until 7pm

First of all we will have the park to ourselves because the West Coast Railway Park has very kindly offered to open their gates to the club after the regular hours.  You will be able to take photos of the trains, the equipment, the flowers ,... and the only people you will trip over are other photographers.  Much appreciation to the park for this opportunity and particularly to Dave Thompson (the new GM) who has to stay late to lock up after us.  Because the park is officially closed and their staff must lock up after our visit - our photo walk will start a little early at 6pm.

Secondly, because our requested theme is portrait photography, Cindy and Michael from Double-Shutter Images have generously agreed to be on hand and offer advice, tips and help  to those club member wanting to improve their portrait photos.

This should be a fun evening so mark it on your calendar, bring a friend  and we will see you on September 9th.

We usually go for coffee after a photo walk, please join us.  

If you are in need of a ride or would like additional information, email me at svpc@shaw.ca
