O.K. Let’s start with the Sask photographers. Outstanding,friendly and definitely fun!
Brought back some good ideas for our association.
For instance,
Sat eve was a free ,open, meet and greet for the public. Non members, camera clubs etc. 130 guests attended.
After a short wine and cheese PPOC-SASK had 5 members put on a 20 minute program each. Topics ranged from pricing, branding to
Home based studios. The last speaker (#6) was, get this --- David Beckstead. This was a class event all the way!
The evening ended with a mini print critique of the submitted prints. It included prints that did not hang to Excellent.
I think we could do this on the eve before a major speaker. There are things that they could have done to make it more
Impressive such as a display of large prints or perhaps a continuous slide show from the National.
Did I forget to mention that the four trades at the convention were present to showcase their wares.
I believe they signed up a few new members as a result of this event and some additional attendees for the programs.
Sunday was program time for yours truly and Bruce Hendricks. We were very well received ( even if I say so myself )
With quite a few post program compliments! Actually after Bruce’s morning program Craig Glendenning approached Bruce
And complimented him on his program. David Beckstead was next to compliment Bruce on his content. To say he knocked
It out of the park is an understatement. He put an amazing amount of thought and work into his presentation. You had to be there.
Monday was David Becksteads program and he did not disappoint. I cannot understand why any photographer, especially a wedding
Photographer would not want to attend!
