"Old Store" was submitted by Haskell Stephens to the 'weathered' special shoot.
This is the last of the 'weathered' special shoot. May is the month of our next special shoot, the category is "Ft. Gibson Dam". These will be shown in late June and early July.
This Friday, May 1st, the club is teaching Photography 101 to the Ben Franklin Academy Wilderness Class for the last time this semester. On Saturday May 2nd, the club is meeting at the Tulsa Zoo at 9 AM for a photo shoot. Come join us, bring your cameras and take some photos.
The 'paparazzi' have arrived for the Bare Bones Festival's Award ceremony! I want to thank all the members that came out and helped, our efforts were appreciated.
I hope you can all recognize this man. . . he's Jerry Maren. Guess that name isn't familiar enough? How about the original "Lollipop Munchkin"? Yep, he was in the Wizard of Oz. He was also Buster Brown and the Oscar Mayer's 'World's Smallest Chef'.
Not all the 'stars' were unknowns, and some couldn't wait to have their photos taken.
"Muskogee Ice" is Terry Morris's entry to our 'Out of the Camera' category. In this category you are not able to do any photoshop type of changes, you can only crop.
Now that I have your attention. . . Boy do Robert Atchley and I have a meeting to tell everyone about. Look through the few photos below and then I'll be back.
Robert and I attended the Woolaroc Photography meeting Sunday, and yes it was an absolute blast. Due to the rain in the morning we had a change in plans, they had all the lecture and demonstrations in the morning and then we got to shoot out in the field the WHOLE afternoon. They even opened up a section of the park that the public never gets to see.
Robert and I were in "Hog heaven" so to speak! Wait, there is more good news. . . On October 4th, they are going to have another event, and they said it was even better than this one!!!
