Wednesday, November 29th 6:30pm (Photoshop) & 7:30pm (SLR) both in MUSC 224.
Hope to see you there!

END OF YEAR GALLERY
We've finally set a date for the End of the Year Gallery
Date: March 21!!
Location: Student Centre Marketplace
Now's the time to start thinking about photos you might want to submit. Photos can be B&W, colour or digital and preferably 8x10.
For those of you who have come out to the trips, there is going to be a section specifically for trip photos.
March 21 is also Stop Racism Day, so if anyone has any photos that are relevant to this cause feel free to submit and we will post them.
Submissions will begin in second semester closer to the date of the gallery.
All pictures will be returned to owners.
So everyone get out those cameras and start shooting!

Darkroom Access
Everyone that has purchased a film membership as of October 28th, 2006 should now be able to access the darkroom.
How to gain acess:
Go to the second floor of the security office by Mary Keyes. Hand them your student card, and they will give you a key in exchange. There is no time restriction on how long you can keep the key (as long as you don't need your student card), but since there are only two keys available, please be considerate of others and only keep the key for as long as you really need it. The security office is open 24/7, so feel free to do your photography whenever you like!
Also:
- There is a sign-in book in the darkroom, please sign-in and tell us what you've been up to in the darkroom and what chemicals may need to be replaced. Our darkroom managers clean and restock weekly.
-Please take note of the workshop times that are listed on the website. These workshops have priority for darkroom use.
- Put up the "darkroom in use" sign while you're in so that no one walks in while you're developing. Similarly, knock before entering, just to make sure!
Additional membership and film/paper sale times will be posted soon!

Night Photography Workshop
Hey MPA,
We'll be meeting on Thursday October 19th in the student center by the fireplace at 9:00pm to do some night photography around campus.
For those of you who just got your hands on a digital camera, this is a good opportunity to practice working with the manual shooting modes (and see how much fun they are) while someone is around to answer any questions that arise.
Don't forget your tripod, (and gloves!)
MPA Exec
*Although this is a workshop as we will have some members on hand to answer questions, everyone is welcome to attend, free of charge!
