The Palm Beach Guild will be hosting thie year's Inter-Guild Competition.
Traditionally, the competition features photographic works created by some
of the best photographers in the State of Florida, if not in the entire
country. The quality of imagery is extremely high, and the level of good
natured competitiveness is equally as high. The guild earning the highest
average score will take home the prestegious Inter-Guild trophy.

Member Survey
Many thanks to those that took the time to take the electronic survey.
A report of the findings was presented at the August Board Meeting which
took place on Tuesday, August 3, 2004.
The survey report is available to the general membership by clicking here. The report is a pdf document and
you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to open the

The results of the survey a currently being analyzed and will influence
the direction of our association in the future.
Thanks again for your input.

 President's
Message
In case you haven't noticed, attendance at our guild programs has been
low lately. For whatever reason our members have not been showing up to
many meetings. We also don't have participation on the board. I don't really
buy the "whatever reason", there has to be a reason why many of
us are not attending the programs. The key is to figure out why and what
we can do to change it.
As your board of directors we try to find the best speakers we can to
deliver programs that will be of interest to our members. If anyone has
any suggestions, please let us know. I think lately we have had some very
interesting programs on some new and interesting aspects of photography.
We still are looking for more and more to cover the ever changing digital
photography field that were in now. If you want to see different programs,
just let us know and we'll work to bring them to our guild.
Like any other organization, we are run by our members, for our members.
The more people get involved, the better the organization is. We still need
more board members and help organizing the trade show. The annual trade
show is a major task and takes a lot of time and effort to put together.
We simply need more people to help make it happen.
Is it the location where we meet? Again, we try to stay in a location
that's central to the area that we serve. Again, we always look forward
to hearing from members on what would make the meetings more accessible.
In closing, I just want to ask that if anyone has any suggstions, ideas,
whatver, just fire off an e-mail and let us know. The bottom line is that
we all want to have the best guild that we can.

July's Program- Bill Lindsay on Adobe Photoshop
 The
July program was brought to you courtesy of Pro Angle Photo Supply, who
paid the airfare and lodging for our speaker, Bill Lindsay. As a former
representitive of Adobe Systems, there is very little that Bill Lindsay
does not know about Adobe Photoshop software. Today, representing Wacom,
Bill shows how to make digital workflow fun as well as effective.
Even if you have seen Bill speak before, you probably learned something
by seeing him again. Testiment to this is the fact that over 70% of the
attendees possessed at least an intermediate level of proficiency with Adobe
Photoshop and more than 50% already used Wacom Tablets.
