Step Forward and Take a Chapter Office or Coordinator Role

Recently, ASMP National said of the Colorado Chapter, “Your chapter is doing great things. I wish we could clone you for other chapters to use!” The vigor with which Colorado chapter members engage means that we are the fifth largest ASMP chapter in the nation, behind only New York, L.A., Boston and San Francisco!

Our chapter has a dedicated, energized board and we want to carry its momentum forward next year. This means infusing the leadership with some fresh faces and continuing energy. Later this year we will elect a president, vice-president and secretary/treasurer. And some of our other board members will leave or take on other positions; what is your interest?

· President? VP? Treasurer?

· Event Coordinator (Brews & Business, workshops)?

· Education Liaison?

· Newsletter?

Find an Assistant Testimonial...

Over the past year I have received several referrals through Find An Assistant on the ASMP website. All have generated paying jobs. The most interesting was when Digital Transitions in NY referred me for a job in Boulder. When the Digital Tech wanted to find out more about me he looked me up on Find An Assistant. So if you are an Assistant or Digital Tech be sure to add yourself and keep your information up to date. -Larry Goodwin

Congratulations to ASMP Member Steven Begleiter and his 6th published book, Photographic Lighting for Everybody

The best camera is the one you have with you. Whether that’s a high-tech DSLR, a consumer point-and-shoot, or simply your SmartPhone, there’s a common denominator that will determine the visual impact of the images you create: the light. Identifying beautiful light (or creating/modifying the light) takes experience, observation, and a knowledge the fundamentals of lighting.
