2023 Programs


Note: This is a work in progress. Check back often for for updated information.

January 28, 2023
Time: 9:30 AM

Program: Print Critique Session
Time: 9:30 AM
We will be meeting in the Trillium Room and using the new display system.

Program: Print Critique Session
Coordinator: Lora Davis

Please bring up to (5) photos that are mounted. Matting is optional. 
Images no smaller than 8x10 and matted no larger than 16x20.
Photos will be on display until our February meeting. 


Categories are:
  • Landscape
  • Animals
  • Birds
  • Flowers
  • Anything Goes/Miscellaneous  

​Consider bringing a variety of:
  • Winning photos.
  • Winning, but not 1st place.
  • Similar to someone else's, but mine didn't win.
  • Can't decide if this is a winner.
  • Can't decide which photo is better, so bring both.
  • Would like feedback about this photo.
Hopefully, you get the idea. Remember, this is a workshop, so we're not picking winners. The goal is to get a different perspective on how to evaluate photos by looking at them in a group. It will also give you insight into how judges work during a photo contest.

NOTE: Please send Lora your photo title and category, especially if it isn't obvious from the title. She will need to make up labels, so please email her by THURSDAY, 1/26 at Lora.Davis14@yahoo.com. The sooner, the better. Don't overthink your choices either; remember, it's a workshop!
If you don't plan to leave some or all of your photos, let her know.


Please email Lora at lora.davis14@yahoo.com if you have any questions.  
Don't feel bad about resending it if she doesn't respond within 24 hours; She is not retired yet!
