We will be meeting at St. Johns UMC off Monroe Rd. ( http://tr.im/cpmgnew... : Google Map )

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 (Special Interest Group) facilitators, other camera owners, and talk until you are ready to go, or we have to kick you out. biggrin

Intellectual Property
We are very excited to have Jayne Hunter from the law firm McGuireWoods LLP to come speak to the group this month. Ms. Hunter will be speaking to us about copyright as it pertains to photography and intellectual property, as well as how to protect your rights as a photographer and copyright holder. This is a topic that a lot of us have questions about so this will be a fantastic opportunity to learn and further your business knowledge.

Upcoming Meeting Details:

  • SIG Reporting, Whose been doing what, where.
  • Pro Contest Results & Assignment Review
  • Intellectual Property with Jayne Hunter


    Assignment Due:

      Good to go. Scott's driven around the North and I'm in the South, while there may be snow there is no accumulation. Temperatures look like we should have a fine meeting and anything dangerous will set in later. If you cannot attend please change your RSVP so we don't expect you. This will be sent out as an email to the Yes/Maybes as well to help get a proper head count.

      It ain't bad. When I was a kid they did not let me ride the bus until it was -30 and the at -40 they would close the schools. This ain't a blizzard yet.

      What a neat community we have. From the emails that have been sent to us to the reports here I feel like I know what's going on all over the metro area!

      Dennis, thanks for gathering a flock of Photoshop/Image manipulators-- we've been pondering the sub-group creation for a while especially since Casey's deepening involvement. Probably a good time to break out a new forum/SIG.

      @Dennis, good idea. We can foment a revolution. To be recognized, I will be the one not wearing a red baseball cap and also I will not have a rose between my teeth.
      @George and the rest, there's heavy snow in Elizabeth but none of it is sticking as of now (3:23 p.m.) and Uptown traffic appears normal from the 3rd floor, at least.

      Hi, all 18 of us who say they have an interest in Photoshop and perhaps forming a subgroup should talk at this evening's meeting. I will wear a red baseball cap so y'all will recognize me and hopefully we can talk a spell. I look forward to it.

      We'll have a snow/lock-in. Learn photo principles and techniques while the snow keeps us all from going out. heheh!

      Here around Matthew's we've got some massive clumpy snow falling but my outside digital weather thing is reading 38. I'm sure those north or west are getting it pretty good. I think Pat went out and stuck his tongue to a lightpost. ;-)
