Southside Meetups:
This meeting is designed to help you get a feel for what we are doing around the area and where you might like to put your participation. We go over the groups last month, and the coming month's schedule, review the assignment (with very mild commentary), work towards having a few quick educational segments, and then we break up for people to meet with other like minded people. During that time you can seek out leaders, SIG facilitators, other camera owners, and talk until you are ready to go, or we have to kick you out. biggrin

Upcoming Meeting Details:

  • SIG Reporting, Whose been doing what, where.
  • Pro Contest Results & Assignment Review

    Split Session (you can pick which session to attend):

  • Janet Bosker from Professional Photographers of NC, speaking to those looking to advance professionally.
  • Rich Nicoloff (Fiveoff), a session on beginners photography. Bring all those questions you've been collecting, Rich is ready to field them!

      If you are new to us, bring what you like. If you have camera questions, bring your camera, if you have photo questions bring the photo. Rich can field a lot during that session and when we break for socializing you can ask any group member for insight into your thoughts/questions/process. Can't get much friendlier than that. :D

      I have pottery class this night for the next 2 months. I'll still be leading some nature events though. Send me messages if you have ideas.

         This meeting was very well organized and one of the best yet. 
      • Administrator
         It was neat to split the group up and we'll probably do this more often to better address the dynamic need of everyone. Janet gave a good overview of PPNC but the questions to her seemed fairly soft pitch. Rich's group was a machine gun of Q&A which was good to see too. Overall I was quite pleased with the evening and I hope everyone found a bit of something they were looking for. 
      • Co-Leader
         Janet Bosker from PPNC gave a very informative talk about the benefits of membership and a little insight into the state of the industry. 
      • Pro Member
         Another great meeting, very well organized and informative!

         It was a good first experience with the meetup group. I'm very excited about the possibility of attending one of the "Coffee and Strobes" sessions, although it seems pretty difficult to get into one. It would be great if there were more of them available.

         great info, great speaker. I am a man of little thoughts... err what? 
      • Basic Member
         I thought it was a great meeting overall. My only disappointment was with the "Pro business" session. My impression was that we would be talking about/exchanging ideas about going professional and what that entails - pricing, web presence, etc. That's been a big missing link for me in the Charlotte area - getting in touch w/others that have already gone pro and are willing to talk about what they've done, problems they've faced, etc. I felt like this session was really a huge plug to join that organization rather than nuts and bolts discussion. But still thanks! Ann
