There will also be a portrait photography studio with strobes, flashes, reflectors and props with the help of Dave Johnson of National Camera Exchange.

Members are invited to gather for a coffee break and tour of David’s photo exhibit at 9:30 AM. David has been engaged in a personal project photographing the Mississippi River.

We’ll gather to hear about his personal project and what he learned from it, how the exhibit came together, and take a look at his images and how they’re presentation.
