Parking and entrance at the rear. All members are encouraged to attend.
The parking lot only has 6 spaces so if the lot is full when you arrive, you can find street parking just east of the studio on 6th and 7th streets. This meeting will be a photo share so each person may bring up to 10 portrait images you’ve taken with your camera that you wish to share with the group. Bring your images on a USB drive and be prepared to share a little about each image you bring. If you wish to attend but do not have any images to share at this time, that is perfectly fine as well….just enjoy the show!
I hope to see you then.

We have a room reserved at the Ellettsville Library. Besides the scheduled photoshare of all those great shots you've gotten so far this year, we will be having a Summer Hodge Podge. So start looking around to find objects to bring that have interesting form, color, texture, etc. for close up photos. Then bring your cameras and we will have fun putting together unique shots of the items that have been brought.
Looks like a busy month! Hope you can attend some of the events!

Please sign up to spend a couple of hours booth-sitting at the club's booth in the Fourth St,. Festival. We will have a sign up sheet posted here soon. This is actually fun!
Also, we will need prints (matted and preferably shrink-wrapped, but not framed, and definitely no glass) to display at the booth. Prints cannot be for sale (because we are listed as a community organization), but they attract viewers and often bring new members to the club. Prints should be delivered by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, and picked up by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.

We will meet at Flatwoods Park which has birds, butterflies, flowers and forest area. It also has restrooms and water! If you are not familiar with the park's location, come west on St. Rd 46. When you get to the west end of Ellettsville, where the road becomes two lane again, drive one mile. Turn left onto Flatwoods Road. About a mile down the road the park entrance is on the left. Since this is not a long drive, we are not scheduling carpooling.
Around noon we will head back to town and at a location in Ellettsville, to be determined by the group.. Suggestions--Arby's, Chinese restaurant in Richland Plaza, Taco Bell, or the El Ranchero behind Arby's. After lunch the next stop will be the Westbury Antique Mall. We've had lots of fun wandering around the large, two floors, taking pictures even with tripods!

On June 13th I will lead a small group of photographers on a mini field trip. For the last several years I have taken photographs of the Indiana Limestone Symposium and this year one of the Symposium’s organizers, Amy Brier, has contacted me with an invitation to attend their Open House on Thursday, June 13th 1:00-4:00 pm.
This is an annual event that brings in stone carvers from across the USA and even from other countries to make stone carvings from southern Indiana limestone which has become legendary around the world. There is no money involved for photographers but the organizers are seeking images to use on their Facebook page and for their promotional purposes of the event. This is an opportunity to photograph interesting men and women who are true crafts persons and artists in stone carving.
Please consider joining me Thursday, June 13th from 1:00-4:00 at the Bybee Stone Quarry in Ellettsville, Indiana where the Limestone Symposium is held each year. I am inviting members of the Point and Shoot Focus Group and the Portrait Focus Group to consider showing up and providing the symposium with a few of your favorite photographs. Although I’m inviting both of my Focus Groups anyone in the BPC would be welcome to attend.
If you are interested you can either meet me at 1:00 at the Bybee Stone Quarry or if persons wanting to attend wish to car pool, you may show up at 12:30 pm at Kip May Photography studio, 141 N. Adams Street, and we can car pool and caravan.
Please RSVP kipmay@sbcglobal.net or 812-345-0142 so I can plan accordingly if you wish to attend.
Thank you.
