New PPGCS Requirements
As photographers, we need to continue to
strive to do the very best for our clients. Whether if be
in customer service, photographing the needs of the client
or just making them feel very comfortable and special at
that given time. Not only will it make their day, it will
make your's too. I think I get as much satisfaction when
a client thanks me for beautiful and creative work as the
client does. Set your standards high and review your progress
weekly. As a member of PPGCS, you're expected to set high
standards. This leads me to my next thought, change is coming
to PPGCS. In the next couple of months, the board will reveal
new standards each member will be required to complete.
These changes will be incorporated into the By-Laws of PPGCS
and will take affect in January 2006. If we are to be called
the, "Professional Photographer's Guild of Colorado
Springs" and affiliate of PPA National organization,
then members will be excepted to achieve certain objectives
and goals as members.

A message from the President
In September, I was fortunate
enough to be invited to Wisconsin Professional Photographers
of America (WPPA www.wppa-online.com)
State Convention and Print Competition. Talk about a state
that has some of the best photographers in the United States,
WOW!!! Was I impressed!! After seeing some of that state's
work, one tends to say, I've got to work harder at my craft
so I can create stunning work like WPPA Masters do. In order
to achieve better photographic work, you must be willing
to continue the education yearly. This includes such events
as attending PPGCS monthly and PPC state events. Be part
of the PPA National organization. They sponsor all types
of educational programs each year, along with the annual
convention that includes top photographers from around the
United States.
PPG's President,
Thomas Henn, PPA Certified, M.Photog. CR.

October Meeting
Many of our members are asking
questions such as: How do I handle this condition/problem?
What is PPA or PPC? What's this degree thing? Where can
I go to earn this or that, I don't understand print competition?
To solve these problems, we will have a round table discussion
at the Oct. meeting. The guild did this two years ago,
and it was one of the most successful meetings we had
all year. With many new photographers, it seems there
are more questions than answers. So bring your questions,
write them down and be prepared to take notes. We will
all learn something at the next meeting.
"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do,
and liking how you do it."

Taralyn Quigley photographs the
Alzheimer's Memory Walk 2005
Taralyn Quigley volunteered her
heart and time on Sept. 10 to photograph the Memory Walk
for the Alzheimer's Association. Her extraordinary images
captured the heart and soul of how Alzheimer's disease affects
individuals and their families and caregivers. She truly
captured the essence of what the Alzheimer's Association
is all about. With over 6,000 people having Alzheimer's
just in Colorado Springs it is vital we get the word out
that there is a way to find a cure. Her photos said it all.....

Quotable Quotes
The person born with a talent they are meant to use
will find their greatest happiness in using it.
-
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Work for the fun of it, and the money will arrive some day.

Ronnie Milsap
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing that we call "failure" is not the
falling down, but the staying down.

HP LASERJET
2840mfp
It
is perfect and has printed less than 200 pages.
This is one of HP's hottest ticket items now and
sells for $1,000. We have decided this is really
overkill for what we need, and are going to go back
to using our inkjet and scanner.
This
is a network ready, full color laser printer/scanner/copier/fax.
You can send scans as jpg or pdf to network folders
or emails from the unit. You can also network fax.
Very cool.
