2010 End of Year Gallery

Hi everyone,

The McMaster Photography Association is putting on an end of year gallery in March. The gallery will be in Clubspace in MUSC and will run for one whole day. It's a great opportunity to show off your work, so start gathering some photos to submit!

The majority of our frames are 8x10s, but if you have larger photos then we may still be able to accomodate them. If you aren't able to print the photos yourself, email us a digital copy and we will be happy to print it for you. We will be able to print at least one photo for each of you, or more depending on how many people submit. If you would like us to do your printing, please email us your photos as soon as possible!

Keep checking the blog for dates and times to submit hard copies of your photos. We will let you know the final date of the gallery soon!

Looking forward to seeing your submissions!
