Some Photo Ops

Hey everyone,

We have two upcoming photo opportunities coming up at McMaster that some of you might be interested in.

The first is happening this Friday January 30th. The McMaster Snowboard Club is hosting a snowboard competition in Faculty Hallow, and they are inviting all photographers to the event. They are also having a prize for best photo!

The second event is the Revolution Wear fashion show. They will be having one show in the student centre in February, and another downtown at the Pearl Theatre. Email revwear2009@gmail.com for more information!

Term Two of the MPA

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great break. I know it sucks to be back to school, but there are a few things to look forward to...

The McMaster Photo Club End of Year Gallery is coming up! And to make sure that you guys have lots of great photos to submit to be shown at the gallery, we will be hosting workshops and field trips over the next few months so that you can take photos and maybe even process them yourselves in the darkroom or on Photoshop.

Please check the website for news on both digital and film workshops, as well as information about our upcoming field trip to downtown Hamilton.

Also, feel free to email any questions!
