contributed to Mr. A. J. Johnson, an

instructor that teaches a class in

photography and promotes the

participation by all of the students at

the school. This is wonderful and

certainly something the students

enjoy and the club benefits from. This

is also something we need to

encourage at other schools around

the state. We can help by promoting

the competition at the schools by

contacting them, encouraging

participation and handing out flyers -

get out there and help out. I am sure

Carol and Tom would appreciate it and the state of Oklahoma and the

Oklahoma Camera Club would

benefit.

Carol manages this fantastic statewide

competition without any donations

from the students in an attempt to

encourage more to participate. But it

does take money to produce. The

Club Board voted to contribute $200

as seed money to help this year.

Unfortunately, the individual club

member donat ions are down

substantially this year, but it is not too

late. So, please donate to help out.

Just get it to Carol or Tom

McCreary, every little bit helps.

I am sure you have noticed the great

participation and success of the

students from Kingfisher High School

in the competition. This can largely be

Photograph Route 66

Ward Conaway has agreed to assume the duties of managing the Photograph Route 66 Project and the deadline has been extended to May 31, 2012. Please check out the club’s website for assignment details or the October issue of the HypoCheck. On

the website, the link to the Route 66 project is at the top of the page.

This is intended to be a fun and creative activity, not a competition. Please submit your images to [email protected]. Jaci and I will be looking forward to receiving and sharing your images with everyone to encourage participation.

Print Competition Rules Change Next Year The club, through the efforts of Jan Lee APSA, PPSA, will be able to accept un-mounted prints

for club competition next year beginning July 10. The Board is hopeful that this will simplify

entering prints, and encourage members to enter more print competitions while maintaining the

ability to show the prints at the end of the club meeting. All other print competition rules will

remain the same.

Edmond Fine Arts Institute of Edmond 27 E. Edwards, Edmond OK

The club is looking forward to having our prints displayed at the Edmond Fine Arts Institute

again this year during the month of June. Wally Lee APSA will be coordinating the effort as he

has in the past. The prints are hung around the first of June so he will need to collect your

contributions by mid- May, the earlier the better. The pictures must be framed in a black "Trend

Setter" Fame from Michael's. We would prefer the frame to be the 16 X 20 size. Picture can be

any size that will fit the frame and must be matted in a pure white mat. The pictures will be

displayed at the Edmond Fine Arts Institute and should be appropriate for Children. Because the

Institute takes a percentage of the sale price, we place a price of $125 for each framed print.

Members have sold a number of prints at this show and it is always worth taking a few minutes to

stop by and walk through. Wally will need the title for your image as he will be making the name

tags for the prints.

your file sizes and some email programs. Be sure you adjust your camera file size

BEFORE you shoot should you plan to email. Remember, you cannot resize your

images once you have taken them.
