President's Welcome </h2>
<div class="Standard">
<img alt="CP" height="157" src="http://ppsnys.com/site/images/Officers/CP.jpeg" style="float: left; margin: 8px;" width="105" /><strong>Welcome to the Professional Photographers' Society of New York State (PPSNYS).</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
Thank you to all who are taking the time to read this, the first of my President<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>s
Messages. First of all, I want to thank Honey for all of her hard work
and dedication throughout her years as an officer and as President. She
was ever present setting up and maintaining our Facebook presence, which
has really increased the public<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>s
exposure to professional photography. I would also like to thank the
members of PPSNYS for having the confidence in me to elect me as
President. PPSNYS has been a huge part of my life since 1985 and the
relationships I have made through my involvement are the most precious.
In fact, I met my husband, Ray, through PPSNYS. It doesn<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>t get better than that!</div>
Being your President is a responsibility I don<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>t
take lightly. It is my intention to visit each section and discuss with
members on a local level their concerns and ideas, to make PPSNYS a
thriving organization once again. I kind of feel like I am preaching to
the choir, but the most valuable benefits of membership, camaraderie and
friendship, come from being involved - attending convention, working on
committees, serving as a section or state officer. In an effort to
expand the pool of participating members, I will be calling on the
general membership to serve on a variety of committees to help move
PPSNYS forward in these challenging times. I<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>m sure I can count on each of you to support me in my efforts!<br />
During the PNE Convention, I spoke with members from across New York
State and the most exciting thing to me is that we have many young,
talented members with energy and ideas. I can<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>t wait to pick their brains and implement their wonderful ideas!<br />
It is very important to me that everyone knows that I am always
available. Please never hesitate to pick up the phone or drop an email
if there is a question or concern. I haven<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>t been very involved in the Facebook environment, but I<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>m trying and I promise to work harder at that.<br />
I<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>m so excited about our upcoming PPSNYS Workshop. I will be in Jane Connor-ziser<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>s class. There is always so much to learn and you can<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>t find a better instructor than Jane. If you have already registered, I<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>m looking forward to spending the week together. If you have not - don<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>t wait any longer. It is the best investment you can make in your photographic education!<br />
I<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>m looking forward to a wonderful, rewarding year. Let<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif';">’</span>s make it fabulous together!<br />

However, it's also time to register for the PPSNYS Summer Workshop and, if you do so before April 15, you receive a $100 discount! That's a much better offer than you'll get from Uncle Sam. </span></div>

The vendors will be on hand to an<span style="font-size: large;">swer your questions about equipment<span style="font-size: large;">, albums<span style="font-size: large;">, prints/enlargements and everything you need to run your photography business.

<br />Byron Sands has found that many photographers do not understand the controls of their digital camera, how it is actually constructed and are often not sure how it relates to their film camera from bygone days. Digital image/file formats are often difficult for non-techies to grasp. While he will present a lot of technical information, he explains it in terms that don't require one to be an engineer.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.35em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Camera basics will be discussed including capture modes, lens, shutter, aperture, ISO and the interrelationship between them. Other topics include digital lenses and digital sensors - how they work, what "field of view crop" means and why that matters to you; color spaces, white balance, and color </span></span>temperature and how they apply to your images and battery technologies. And finally, we will discuss digital image formats and what you need to know about them to preserve your images. Questions will be welcome!</div>

You will come away with an understanding of how your digital camera actually works and how to apply that knowledge to capturing the images you desire.</div>

Byron was born in Arkansas but grew up in North Africa and Europe. Moving to Morocco at age 3, then Greece and then Germany, he returned to the US in time to graduate high school in Arizona and went on to earn the BA degree from the University of Arizona. He later earned the technology diploma from the Albuquerque Technical Institute and received graduate training at the University of New Mexico and the Harvard University School of Business Executive Program. Byron also earned the Professional Photography Certificate of the New York Institute of Photography.</div>

Byron led engineering teams in the early 80’s that pioneered digital high speed inkjet scanner/duplicators, in the late 80’s that pioneered laser printers, in the early 90’s that pioneered low power, high speed modems and cell phone connectivity in laptop computers, and in the later 90’s that brought digital multimedia into the personal computer. Byron holds patents in the area of digital communications. Byron was appointed Distinguished Technologist by Hewlett-Packard in 2006 and retired from HP in 2009.

No longer will you need to look at your digital camera and be overwhelmed by all of the buttons, settings and messages or use the “wing-it” approach to digital photography. Through Don’s easy-to-understand style of teaching, the student of this class will gain a working-level understanding of important technical ingredients to a successful image: white balance, histograms, raw files and conversion. Students will also gain a deeper appreciation for light and learning to see and applying that understanding to studio and location portrait lighting. This class combines lecture with hands-on learning so that students can go home and immediately implement the learning at their own studios! This course will enable each photographer to move forward with confidence as they reach toward the next level in their portrait business.

Professional Photographers' Society Commemorates the 10th Anniversary of 9/11<br />
Members Work Together to Capture New York State's Resilience and Unity<br />
<br />
ALBANY, NY -- The Professional Photographers' Society of New York State, Inc.(PPSNYS) is organizing<br />
Project 9/11, which will involve members of the Association taking photos throughout New York State on<br />
Sunday, September 11, 2011 – the 10th anniversary of 9/11. During this 24 hour period, the Association will capture the spirit of New York's resilience and unity through the eyes and lenses of participants from its over 400 professional photographer members. People and events from Montauk to Buffalo, Jamestown to Plattsburgh will be photographed.<br />
The ultimate goal of Project 9/11 is to produce a piece of living history, demonstrating the power of visual media to capture and document the emotions, people and events in this brief moment in time. To accomplish this, PPSNYS is harnessing the talents, minds and hearts of some of the finest people in the profession. Submitted photos will be evaluated by the Project 9/11 Committee. The photographer with the winning photo will be honored at the 2012 Photo North East Convention and Trade Show, taking place March 24 – 27. To view a list of participating photographers in your area please visit <a href="http://www.ppsnys.com/">www.ppsnys.com</a> and click on 'Project 9/11'.<br />
