Would like to discuss the Oct “Travel” competition. Anticipate “LOW” participation, therefore, would like to take a member vote at the general meeting to change the theme to “OPEN” so the members who entered in the AVF would be able to compete with their best AVF entries.
I am submitting a document called “Judging Guidelines” to the board as a document I am using as competition chairperson. It has been edited, proofed and re-edited. The first one was given to Ross Way.
Congratulations to all the following members who were moved up to the next skill level or competitions:
- To Amateur: Mary Barker (her request); Shirley Airov-Bieling; Robert Christman (his request); Darren Cole; Leslie Sutton; Micheal Tanner; Tom Van Langenhoven.
- To Advanced: Diane Cable and Kathy Newman.
- To Master: Bruce Cable.
As a reminder- if you feel you should be in a higher skill level or are new to the club and would like to discuss which skill level you should be in, please contact Bonnie your competition chair at competition@lpaphotography.org. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you.

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
.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.
