Socializing: 6pm
Meeting: 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Agenda:

For July, we'll have Chris James, a WWA instructor, talk, abuut night photography.  This should be good preparation for the camping trip planned in August. (www.facebook.com/pages/Christoper-James-Photography). See you July 21st!!

The Click! Board recently decided to call early elections for a new Board. We are actively looking for any Click! members interested in being part of the new Board. The recent changes at WWA should prove to be an exciting opportunity of members to give back to the organization and be part of a new Click! and WWA.

Working with Artists recently announced their exciting merger with the Colorado Photographic Arts Center. The big question of us is, "How does this affect Click?" Due to the merger, WWA will be restructuring their membership levels and benefits. Since we are part of those benefits, we have decided to no longer collect Click! memberships until after WWA has restructured their membership levels and benefits. This is an unprecedented value for all current new Click! members. We look forward to seeing Click grow and mature with the new WWA/CPAC. The Executive Committee will keep members apprised of any further information as it becomes available. Click here for additional information on the merger.

July 17, 2011 - Poi (Fire Dancing): We're still arranging this event, but we plan to attend the Poi dancing festival in downtown Denver to photograph dancers and the general festival atmosphere. Cost: free. Please refer to the Messageboard for additional details.

August 27 and 28, 2011 - Camping at Great Sand Dunes National Monument : We're also arranging this event. The general idea is to share a group campsite at this wonderful location, positioning ourselves to do a sunset shoot, night shoot (including light painting), and early dawn shoot -- select what you want, or do it all! The park is about 4 hours drive from Denver. Cost: TBD -- share the cost of the campsite booking. Please refer to the Messageboard for additional details.

September 24, 2011 - Hawkquest: This one is special. Hawkquest will bring 6 birds of prey (falcons, hawks, etc) for Click members to shoot over a 4-hour period in the morning. Click photographers will position themselves in the Bear Creek Lake park area, and Hawkquest members will release the birds so that we can get amazing shots of the birds hunting, flying and landing. We will have 4-5 people at each "station" -- meaning each photographer will have very good access to shoot the birds in action. (Wolf Camera offered an event like this before, but there were 15-20 photographers at each station. Even then the participants got some great shots!) Cost: $35 per person (Click members); $60 per person (non-Click members). Please refer to the Messageboard for additional details.
