| | | A Word About Event Photos... | | |
Typically, more photos get taken at events than can be featured in the newsletter. It's always difficult for me to choose who and what to include. I make decisions based on trying to feature as many different people as possible, but also on whether a photo captures the fun of the event, and whether it is in focus or not.
The hope is that by next year we'll have a photo gallery on the website where I can include all the great photos from events so people can see more photos of themselves and friends.
