Dec. 2023 Photo Newsletter Director's Message
Greetings! We are in the midst of the holiday season with so many opportunities to take that perfect photo – the decorations, winter scenery, holiday celebrations and so much more. Remember to keep that camera/smart phone by your side to capture those great memories.
The photography presentations that Arabella Dane has been coordinating for our members have resulted in many talented photographers in our midst! This was evident at the photography show at the NEGC Annual Meeting in October in Plymouth, MA. There is a link in this newsletter for you to view the amazing photos from all the finalists.
To learn even more photography tips and tricks on smartphone photography , subscribe to this Rick Sammons webinar and attend via a zoom presentation.

Please note:
the Rick Sammons smartphone webinar has been rescheduled to

Enjoy your holidays and have a Happy New Year!
