Print Chair: Craig Weeks

An avid hobby photographer that primarily photographs landscapes and sports. Odd combination but I have three children so I tend to spend a lot of time at soccer, flag football, basketball, baseball, etc... games and when not capturing their youth I am looking for a landscape or sunset to capture.
I have a Canon Rebel XT and Sony Alpha 200 (long story why I have both...)
I am very proficient in Photoshop. I primarily use Elements 7.0. I also own Photoshop 7.0 but have never upgraded to the CS line and find that Elements allows me to do most of what I want to do.
I have had photos selected to be published on a number of websites and I have been fortunate enough to win a number of photo contests. Currently, I have a photograph on the Outdoor Photographer website in their "favorite places" section representing Florida and South Carolina. I also have a photograph selected to be in the "Like the Animals" exhibit at the MOCA in Jacksonville. An equistrian clothing company is using two of my photos in their 2010 annual calendar. In addition, I have had photographs published in magazines.

I have enjoyed taking photos since I was in junior high as a hobby or documenting vacations. I joined the camera club several years ago to try and learn more about what makes a great photo and how to get it. It has been a great on going learning experience. It is a great group of people who are more than willing to share their knowledge. I work as a mammographer and ultrasound technologist in St Augustine. Besides photography I enjoy working out, bicycling, riding motorcycles, volleyball, boogie boarding, and spending time with Rick, our dog and friends.

Mentor Chair: Lynda Smith

From college to retirement photography has been a consistent source of enjoyment for me. Film and the wet darkroom were great but digital and Photoshop are incredible. I currently shoot with a Canon 30D, use Photoshop CS3 and will shoot any subject in natural light.
I've developed skills over the years with college classes, workshops and lots of trial and error. I've received awards in local and state wide competitions, done some commercial work and had a few images published.
In the camera club I've found enthusiasts who are extremely generous in sharing their time and talents. My advice to new members - take advantage and get involved - see you there.
