We have celebrated GREAT photography, new ideas for becoming better at the art & craft of making images as well as an HISTORICAL MILESTONE in our club history! THANK YOU, TIM MCMAHON! As always, your May program on Managing Photographic Exposure was interesting and instructive. The CICC is grateful that you are willing (year-after-year) to share your insightful expertise with us. You always give new ways for us to look at improving our images. NEXT MEETING: THURSDAY, JUNE 1 The subject for the June contest photos is PHOTOS MADE THROUGH A WIN- DOW OR A DOOR FRAME.
