2-hour Photographer's boat ride!

Experience a unique and up-close view of the ponies of Chinconteague on their return trip to Assateague. Over 100 horses make the return trip, and they can often be seen frollicking in the sand once back on shore.

I would like to begin my first message of the new year by saying “THANK YOU” to all of the wonderful members of this club. Many of you have been in touch with either another Board member or myself, with comments and suggestions. We really do want to know what you want, so keep the comments coming! The Board and I look forward both to continuing with initiatives already established, as well as developing and implementing new programs to take the Club forward in 2008.

Finding a source of inspiration is sometimes difficult; much like writers who get "writer's block," we photographers sometimes look at something and, try as we might, we just don't see "The Shot." (Unless, of course, you are out shooting with Flo, Pam, Adrian, Jerry or some of the other great photographers in the Club, then you slap yourself on the forehead and say "duh!" after they see the perfect one!)

Happy New Year! I hope that you all had a wonderful and joyous holiday season, and that you gained some gear in the photography department while avoiding gaining anything in the weight department. I want to thank you for electing me to serve as your Vice President this coming year. I am truly looking forward to it, and I want to emphasize that I really am here to serve you. If you have any ideas to make this club better, by all means, please let me know. I think we really are the best camera club in the country as is, but there's always room for improvement.

Happy Holidays!

Another year has come and gone, and with it brings an almost entirely new administration to the Club! Over the next few meetings, we will all be making the rounds to introduce ourselves, and ask for your input about the Club. We really want to know what we are doing right (as well as wrong) and what you want from this bunch of active photographers.

Welcome to November!
It is so hard to believe that another year has passed. And just when things were getting quiet in the photography world, Canon and Nikon make their big announcements of new cameras. And then, after all those announcements, we find more and more photo opportunities than ever before!
