  • President's Letter
    APRIL, 2015 VOLUME 30, ISSUE 4 Volumn 3 President’s Letter Jim Ross, President Have you toured the new Nebraska Furniture Mart? Chandra and I walked the store looking for ideas for our new house. We noticed many photos that had been printed on canvas and hung as wall art. Seeing them made me think "hey, I can do that with my own images… while also reducing framing cost". Down the road I may try some of the techniques suggested by Ron Marabito at his "turning your images into art" presentation. Costco and other local places provide print on canvas services starting at $29. Why not go print and hang some of your art this year? Please be sure to sign-up to bring refreshments to a future club meeting. Ed Pierce is always looking for new folks. You can make your favorite treat or stop by the store and purchase something. Either way our stomachs will thank you! Canon recently announced an ultra-high resolution 50 megapixel full-frame camera. Holy smokes, I think my hard drive would be full after downloading images from one trip -- ha, ha! If you have any gear you would like to sell, let Larry Petterborg know and he can help you advertise it via our newsletter.
