OCC Minutes  December 2, 2014

President Paul Bellinger opened the meeting at 6:30.

Treasurer:  Tim White reported that we have  $2822.43 in the club account and $463.66 in the N4C Convention

account.

Tonight’s program is the December digital review.  January pictures are due to Myers Burmeister by the 14th –

the assigned category is “Twisted.”  There is no N4C photo contest this month.

N4C:  Last month there were 42 entrees from 9 OCC members with 10 awards in the categories of pictoral,

creative, black and white, nature, and photo journalism.  Paul recommends looking at their website to see

what kinds of pictures are competitive.

Members should check the OCC blog for meetups.  A spot will soon be picked for a group outing to take show

and tell photos.

Tom Manglesen will be in town on 13th from 5 – 9.  It’s an opportunity to meet him.

We need two more judges for our January contest.  Don Cross and Paul Bellinger volunteered.

On the 7th we’ll get 84 photos to judge from the Niagra Falls camera club.  Ina has lined up some judges.

Paul talked about photographers who could do presentations at the 2015 N4C convention in Omaha.  One is Ken

Jarecki.  We also need to create Omaha booklets with advertising.  Paul would like suggestions either at

meetings or by email.  It was suggested we use the Survey Monkey to survey the N4C members.  Larry Headley

will look into the size of a group that the Monkey can handle as well as the number of questions that can be

asked.

Paul Evans asked if anyone wants to visit the Metro Community College photography lab at the Elkhorn campus

next Monday night.

Steve Schwiesow is our snack provider tonight.
