The DPC club has already survived the first snow of the season, right before our November meeting! Hope you all found the time to catch some early winter scenes. If you are interested in having some of your images grace the DPC website, please see Flickr for the discussion thread on how to send the images to Justin for posting.

The club has decided to change our December meeting to Friday, December 2nd. The event will be a combination of Holiday Party and Art Exhibit. The exhibit will be held at the Advanced Medical Solutions building at 54 East Oakland Avenue in Doylestown.

• December 1st – hanging art from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Then on Dec 2nd (first Friday) there will be light snacks and adult beverages
• HOLIDAY GATHERING/exhibition opening 6:00 – 9:00 pm, family/friends, and then 7:00 – 10:00 pm, open to the public
• The art will hang for approximately 2 months

In November, Jim Bee presented a very useful discussion of Photography as a business. Tax rules, limited liability corporations, manufacturing exemptions, business guidelines and other important information was shared for our Focus Ring conversation. Thanks Jim, for a very effective and thought-provoking discussion!

David Stakun presented Elliott Erwitt for our Photographer of the Month. Erwitt began his career as both an advertising and documentary photographer and became known for his black and white candid shots of ironic and absurd situations within everyday settings. Funny, Bizarre, Ironic, Fine Art and Portraiture were all appropriate adjectives for this month’s POTM. Thanks again, David!

Next, Sharon Mason-Parker presented images from her recent trip to France to prompt a group discussion about travel photography. Topics included equipment selection, subject matter and post-processing options, and the group engaged in some good Q&A. Henry followed up with information about tripods, wide-angle lens tips and other helpful information. Thank you both!

There will be no challenge in December since we are going to the exhibit/holiday gathering, but in January, your assignment is “RED.” Please submit your images to Barry at bwwhdr@gmail.com by December 30th.

Thanks to everyone for a great meeting, and we look forward to seeing you at the Holiday Party on December 2nd! Stay tuned to our Flickr site for more information!

Happy Holidays everyone!
