Share on FacebookA couple of program changes have been posted to the calendar.
May 31st “Talk Photography” has been changed to “Jake Jacobson: Travel Photography of the South West:.

Share on FacebookJust updated the website to include winning images from the most recent competition.
You can find them on the home page or here.
Share on FacebookA reminder, the last Image Study Night this year will be held on April 26th. We will be focusing on Visual Communication, how the elements of the image help (or hinder) a viewer to see what you saw and wanted to show to others. To emphasize the story telling potential of images, please submit 2 images that tell a single story. The story could be as simple as a landscape or person that interests you, or even a more abstract story, like the form or color of an object. It could be a creative or a factual story, a sporting event or family gathering.
If you have the ability, please join the two images so that they can be shown simultaneously on the screen. If you can’t do this, Tony Mistretta will do it for you.
Try to submit the images by Sunday, April 22nd. You may send them by e-mail to images@stonybrookcc.com, or you may use Dropbox. If you don’t have Dropbox yet, you may request it by sending an e-mail to images@stonybrookcc.com. There will be no manipulation of your images after they are submitted. That’s up to you. I hope that we will see images from a variety of makers, from beginners to experts.
Share on FacebookFinally posted the minutes to the January business meeting and posted the presentation given by Phil Giordano and James West about creating prints.
By the way, there are some excellent presentations and articles created by club members over the years. These are posted here.

How to start using Dropbox to send in images to stonybrook:
Well first the digital competition chair (Ann) invites you to share the dropbox folder. (I do get more space for inviting you) if you accept you can download the software and dropbox will become a set of folders on your computer. The folder inside that we share is where you can put images. You can also share other folders in the box with other people, create a gallery and share links with friends and family who dont have dropbox, use it for the free 2gig of backup space (expandable to 16 gig for free with referals). We have been using it for a year and all like it alot. there are a few quirks too it, if you drag a file over to the folder it really believes it is on your computer so it really moves the file not copys it. once your used to that its fantastic.
You want an invite? Email Ann at images@stonybrookcc.com

Share on FacebookJust updated the scores and winning images for the print, slide and digital competitions.
Share on FacebookStony Brook did very well in the Greater Lynn International all things considered.
As a club we again came in fourth place with 334 total points from our top seven makers with 3 medals.
They were: Dan Charbonnet, Ray Guillette, Jake Jacobson, Wendy McIntosh, Joan Shirley, Dick Shirley, and Shiv Verma.
We also came in third with for most club entries with 42. This year Merrimack Valley beat us out for second with 46 entries but a Chinese club came in over the transom with an astounding 63 entries. The Chinese are beating us up on many fronts but they only came in sixth place overall!
Many thanks to all who entered. It’s a great experience to compete i n a worldwide arena. Jake Mosser will be at club Thursday with the individual score cards when he brings Andre Gallant down. If you don’t get yours at that time, I have a listing of everyone’s scores.
Great job, Stony Brook!
