Headed for 100 !!

It's pretty exciting! We're at 84 combined sign-ups for our 2009 conference and we're still 8 or so months out! I guess people are excited at the $99.00 early bird pricing for PPSNYS and PPA members, and the fact that first time non-members who sign up for the early bird $165, also get a year's free membership in the society!

We published the agenda on our main web site, but we're publishing it here for the rest of the world. Early bird pricing ends on September 15th, so get in there and be a part of history, and get set for an incredible event!

If you're not a member, but want to stay tuned to the continuing conference news, send a blank email to ppsnysconf@aweber.com. For a brief summary of what each speaker will cover, see the back page of our July Newsletter.

Premininary 2009 Conference Agenda

Have an awesome day!

Summer Workshop Still A Blast !

What an awesome week last week was! Refreshed, challenged, socialized, appreciated, exercised. Who'd have thought you could get all that out of one teenie weenie week of learning at the PPSNYS Photo Workshop !?

Heck, and that was just our class. We had the pleasure -- pleasure, mind you -- of studying with J. Michael McBride for the week. You never know what exactly to expect at work shop, really, but you always expect to be recharged and motivated. We got that and then some. Amazing what you can do inside AND out , without a flash. Windows are wonderfully magical, and reflectors are the tools of the gods. Combine that with a little inspiration and a new way of looking at the world, and what you end up with is a new lease on your photographic life. At least that's how it happened for me, and most of the other members of our class. Seeing your world through new eyes. Try to make it next year, eh ?

And remember to sign up for our annual conference and the high-intensity line-up we have arranged! March 28-31, 2009 in Albany, NY. Only $99 for PPSNYS and PPA members, through September 15th, 2008. Once you see that line-up, you'll RUN to pay your $99 ($165 for non-members). Grrrrrrrrrrreat price. Even Tony the Tiger can't beat that one :)
