Thanks to James Taylor for the presentation at the April meeting on “Conversion to B&W”.

which he could show different creative effects was astounding.
Thanks to Neal Thompson, from Ashland, a member of the Southern Oregon Photographic
Society (SOPA), in Medford, who was the Club’s guest judge for April. He brought lots of ideas
and experience to the judging process.
