The August DIG Meeting is Tuesday, August 5, 2008 (9:30 am) at our NEW meeting location for the next few months: the Scottsdale Civic Center Library (address and directions below).
Howard Wood invited himself (and after much convincing, he accepted his invitation) to be our featured presenter this month. His topic is Experimenting with Photoshop: A Few Tips, Some of Which May Be Useful.
As usual, bring some of your own prints to share before the meeting (the library opens at 9 am).
Hope to see you there!
Again, the meeting will be held at our NEW location:
Scottsdale Civic Center Library
3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd.
Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Chuck Williams did an advance dry-run to the library and provides some driving and parking directions:
The Civic Center Library is on Drinkwater Blvd, just south of Indian School Road, between Scottsdale Road and Hayden. Turn south at Drinkwater and take a left into the parking area at the “Library” sign. For those familiar with the area the library is east and across the street from the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts. When you enter the parking structure you are on level 2, but going down the ramp to level 1 is recommended because there is a 3 hour parking limit on level 2 but no limit on level 1. Go down the ramp and turn right – the library entrance is at the north end of the parking structure. Walk straight in to the Copper Gallery and Auditorium. If you happen to enter on the main library level, take an immediate left down the stairs, you don’t have to enter the main library.
Just a friendly reminder for anyone still braving the summer heat:
There is NO July DIG meeting.
The meetings for August, September and October will be held at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library at 3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd., Scottsdale, AZ 85251.
See y’all in August!
Also, Maria McCay is looking to sell her Mamiya medium format equipment. Maria says:
Below is a list of Mamiya medium format camera equipment and accessories (photo attached). It breaks my heart to actually give up this equipment, but like most photographers, my business is now 100% digital. The equipment is in pristine condition and was very well taken care of. I even have the boxes that the equipment came in. My original investment was about $10,000.
A used camera reseller is offering a 10th of this investment. For a pro still using film or an advanced hobbyist, this collection would be invaluable.
