Every year we have improved a little...with this year as no exception. We improved in every category of the On-Site Contests. The only areas we did not do as well this year were the carry in Self Portrait and 3rd Floor, so we will be looking at those areas for 2011.

It will need to be mounted the following week.

ATPI 2008-09
This year's ATPI rally started out with a bit of a disappointment as I learned in December that Feb 14th, a Saturday Valentine's date, had been booked well over a year ago...before the date for the 2009 Winter Conference had even been set. The 2nd year students didn't let this get them down and started plotting how they might still make the trip even with out me. Thanks to a few key people, including my supervisor, for helping to make this trip still happen. The good news is that I have already blocked off next year's calendar from any potential wedding bookings. So, future Photobums of 2009-2010, mark your calendar now as we'll surge to the leading school at ATPI next year.
Winners Update: Photography Students competed in Arlington this weekend at ATPI. Dylan G received 3rd place in Music Video. Kim W got Best in show for digital print and 3rd place in color print in the category of architecture. Amar G received 1st place in Black and white printing and third place in digital editing.

Third Floor Photographic Society Annual High School Shoot-Out - 6 entries required of all Comm II...previous work ok.
VIDEO TEAM??? We are going to need at least one team to buckle down and learn some quick video editing. In the past, we have always been in the 2nd semester and into video for a month and half. This is going to put us in a bit of a bind with the 2nd semester starting so late.

Well done Shutterbugs!!!! (DL)
A note from the Conference Chairperson for 2006-07:
We are very pleased to let you know that our Keynote Speaker this year
will be David Hume Kennerly -
http://www.kennerly.com/ - a Pulitzer
prize-winning photographer who was the official White House photographer
under President Gerald Ford. He comes to us courtesy of Canon's
Explorer of Light program.
Because of his schedule, our keynote will be on Friday night at 7:30
p.m., rather than Saturday night. This one part of our conference is
free and open to the public, so if you have other guests that you'd
like to invite, please feel free to do so.
Please start talking to your students now about the importance of
attending the hands-on classes for which they've registered. Because
we try to keep these classes small, if several students decide to
leave early, it looks very bad for the professionals we've asked
to donate their time to come teach.
--------------------
ATPI 1st Year Selection Results: Thank you all for participating. There were a total of 9 people who came through with images, all of which were excellent images. At this point, there is only 1 definite open position and possible room for one alternate to travel with us. After presenting your images and statements, a discussion and a round of voting from my 2nd year students, here are the following results:
Jessica R. was picked as the primary selection...and Victoria M. as the primary alternate.
Jessica C, Kameron, Addie, Lindsey, Shayne and Carlos...All of you will be considered alternates...and are encouraged to attend the after school meeting and prepare a Self Portrait which will be helpful in making any last minute decisions. Please save the date...and talk to your parents about possibly going to Austin for a school sponsored competition and get the permission slip in.
