Hello Club Members,
I hope everyone had a great holiday, and that you are looking with anticipation for a great year as well. The nice thing about the beginning of a new year, right now, is that this is a good time to make some new resolutions and plans for the future. You could decide to have more fun with your camera gear and take more pictures, or to improve your skills in one or more photo processing programs to take your work to the next level, or even to expand your hobby into new horizons.
In looking back not only at last year, but where our club has been since it started as the first camera club in our metro area specializing in digital photography. A lot has changed in our local photographic community of camera clubs. From the time when I’ve been told that digital is not photography to today when it’s commonplace. All, or most, of the clubs slowly evolved from film orientation to digital today. Denver Digital Photo Club was unique in it’s 100% digital orientation since it started, but now we must look at the big picture for new opportunity to recapture our differentiation, and to excel.
I would like an opportunity to present a plan to renew our group into a photography club to better serve the needs of today’s digital photographers, our present members and new members to be. It calls for recreating a new organizational model from a digital specialty club to a full fledged, full service photography club to meet a more diversified base. The new model evolves a number of innovative services to add to our traditional ones to engage more of our members and many new photography enthusiasts.
We have a meeting room reserved at the Lone Tree Civic Center for the evening of Monday January 9, 2012 at 7PM, Room B. This will be a strategic plan meeting and all members are encouraged to attend so you know the new organizational concept first hand and can participate in the discussion.
Check the Meetings page for location details.
Dick York – President,
Denver Digital Photo Club
