Hi        

Welcome to Poly Speaks , the Newsletter for the Poly Photo Camera Club.

This month I have a feature from Ernesto Corte's Tidepool Workshop and from the Pro Gold Workshop. And, I have a bio of our next jjudge, Susan Coppock. And as always there are links at the bottom of the page for photo contests and other events.

As always, feel free to pass along any suggestions or info that you feel is appropiate.

Thanks.

                                    Photoshop Workshop with Tanya Howe                                         

September 20th, 2008

Tanya Howe is one of our members who teaches Photoshop professionally. So we were very happy to have her give this workshop. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to this workshop. But, I heard that it went well and everyone learned a lot. I'm sure there is always more that anyone can learn about Photoshop.

                                                  Thanks to Bob Howe for the images!

Photo Ops

Check out the City of San Diego's Events Listings on their website. It's a good place to look for info on upcoming photo ops.

Thanks to Connie Massey for the info about San Diego's Events Listings.

Every Sunday, a different International Cottage performs traditional dance and music, in traditional dress in BalboaPark. It’s entertaining and fun and it is an opportunity to experience and photograph various cultures. Here’s their web address if you would like to check it out, http://balboapark.org/in-the-park/detail.php?OrgID=36
