 President's
Message
The PPGF is supported in two ways, you, our members and companies that
feel that their involvement with the PPGF will be a wise business decision.
The bottom line is that the PPGF provides for a circle of support that helps
everyone.
Your PPGF provides for a wealth of information as it develops in the
world of Professional Photography as well as an extremely beneficial venue
for each of us to gather with other professionals in our field. We learn
from each other in what is the friendliest form of competition in any line
of work. The more members we have and the more active each member is, the
greater the gain for everyone involved. It's in every ones best interest
to promote the PPGF to bring in more members.
The second way the PPGF is supported is by businesses in the Photographic
world. Companies like Album Crafters, Album King & Zookbinders, Digital
Technology Group and Pro Angle Photo have figured out that our membership
of Professional Photographers is where they find their most desired customers.
These sponsors are willing to pay to support the PPGF to keep their names
in front of you and me, the PPGF members. What can we do to complete the
circle? Use these PPGF supporting companies of course. If you need Epson
or Kodak printer supplies? DTG has great prices and service. A new lens
or lighting gear? Pro Angle offers mail order prices and you can save with
next day delivery at ground shipping since they are local. If you have ever
been on the fence about which new Digital SLR to buy, or which lens handles
better, you can drive to DTG or Pro Angle and try it, yes, shoot, handle
and make the best decision for you based on your first hand experience,
not from what you have been reading on the web, written by who knows? And,
if after a day or two that lens is not exactly what you expected, go exchange
it.
Album Crafters also can deliver the finest albums quickly, again because
you eliminate a full week in shipping time. Album King is another album
builder that offers quality books at great prices.
I know most of us, when shopping for a new piece of equipment first think
of B&H or Calumet, or the local Ritz/Wolf store but let's not forget
that in addition to great pricing and service, these local supportors of
the PPGF kick back to you in the form of speaker, sponsorship, door prizes
and advertising.

February Program by Jon Laye
 Many thanks to
PPGF President, Jon Laye, for filling in a presenting his program entitled
"Productivity in Photoshop". Jon's program demonstrated
how by using Photoshop Actions, many of the routine task that digital photographers
preform can be completed automatically, as Jon says, "while you sleep."
