I have not been notified of any changes to the competition rules as of this date. We do know there will be changes coming soon.

PSA Council Challenge (S4C) participated

The Southern California Council of Camera Clubs (S4C) entered the Photographic Society of America’s (PSA) Council Challenge again in 2014.  Joanne Stolte, FPSA, MPSA, is the S4C Council Rep and chose the entries for this year’s competition.

The Council Challenge was judged this year by the St. Louis Camera Club.

Sue Liberto won an Honorable Mention with her image “Tall Ships” in the Color Digital Section.

Other LPA member’s images entered were the following:
“California Poppy 9801”                  Nan Carder, EPSA

S4C was third in the Color Digital Section. Images are selected from the S4C competitions held yearly.

Congratulations to EVERYONE!

For those entering in the AV Fair, if you have winners and for those that feel they have excellent images, please send me your images with your UEN so I can begin the process of entering the LPA in the Inter-club competitions. If you have any questions about S4C, or wish to send my images, please email Bonnie Matthews at S4C@lpaphotography.org.

by Bonnie J Matthews-Franke

Bonnie has been taking pictures since she was a little girl, but she didn't get into digital photography until about 2009, just before she joined the club.

Matthews-Franke finds the club to be very beneficial to her. The interaction with other members, being able to ask questions, the workshops and the knowledge that I take away from the club is phenomenal.

She believes the meetings, workshops and field trips are very beneficial, specially to the new members. Her favorites were the Fall Color Trips; Mono Lake Trips and the workshops were she had her camera and could play along.

She love landscapes. She just finished a vacation trip to Oregon where she photographed lighthouses, old barns and covered bridges. The older the structure the better Smile.
She also loves portraits, and shooting in her own studio.

Matthews-Franke has more than a few Canon's, a Canon 7D, a Canon 5D MKII and a few more with a variety of lenses and accessories. Her favorite lens is a 28-135mm ,70-200mm. & 100mm.

Matthews-Franke was our secretary of the club for a few years and helped made many changes to help us grow.
