American Society of Picture Professionals (ASPP) DC/South chapter invites its chapter members and guests to join us for  the first “DC Picture Show” in 2010.

The 2010 picture shows are slated in January, March, May, July, September, and November.

All the shows will be held at the 5^th and K Street Busboys and Poets Restaurant in downtown Washington DC. The restaurant provides excellent audio/video facilities.

APA|DC Presents

Medium and Large format solutions for under $10K

Data Storage/Management, Creative/Productive Applications, Monitors, Calibration, Printers, Workflow, Video.  As photographers we all have questions regarding which equipment is best suited for our creative/productive needs.  Many times it’s difficult to wade through marketing hype/sales pitches to get real world answers from knowledgeable professionals with a broad range of experience and understanding of our profession.

With our next APA/DC Brown Bag Meeting we have created a unique opportunity.  Steve Hendrix with Capture Integration has agreed to participate and share his broad scope of knowledge.  As with all APA/DC Brown Bag Meetings this will be an informal discussion where all participate and share their experience.  Steve will be present to offer his unique insight and answer any questions we may have.

Steve has devoted over 10 years to helping photographers get the best results possible through his frank and knowledgeable grasp of the industry and the products that help photographers achieve their goals and objectives. Steve has worked for Sinar, Imacon and Phase One, and spent time at the dealer level selling all of the top products available to photographers. While he specializes in high end digital capture, he also has an advanced background in color management as well as storage and archival workflows.

Share Thoughts   Ask Questions Get Answers   Be Inspired

APA|DC Brown Bag meetings are an informal discussion group, where all participate. This is where we all share ideas, experiences and thoughts. A place where an honest exchange among our peers culminates in a better photographic society – everyone participates and learns.

I’m happy to see one of my ASMP presentation ideas come to life.  Way back when I was president of ASMP, and we were planning presentations for the year, I had the idea to let a bunch of photographers show their work and talk about it for 10 minutes each.  The idea didn’t make the cut that year, but last year the idea came to life as “10X10″: 10 Photographers for 10 min each.  Unfortunately photographers are long winded and the show was went a bit  long.  For this year, the brilliant ASMP board has renamed it 8X10.  Good job ASMP-DC board of directors and volunteers.

I would still love to see one of my other programs come to life:  an ASMP Buy Sell Trade day.  Just like the camera traders do on occasion: rent a hotel conference room with tables for a  Saturday; each photographer can rent a table to display their old gear for sale.   The event needs to be marketed through camera clubs and stores.  DC-Phtoographers-Resource is happy to help set this up if there is any interest.
