Great Source of Matte Boards & Frames

We learned how to cut our own matte boards at the last meeting. Ray Kaleda recommends this company to buy your materials:

"I have bought a lot from them and visited their warehouse with the Blakeslee and Margaret Chew. Can't beat their prices.  All is acid free."

Camera Club of Los Altos Annual Exhibition

Copa Club


From July 1 to July 31, 2010, the Camera Club of Los Altos will display its annual photography exhibit at the Los Altos Library (13 S. San Antonio Road) during library hours. Our members will be showing their best and favorite photos. The photographs will be from various fields of photography so it should be an interesting show.

Also, on July 3 from 2 to 4PM, the club will host our reception. Everyone is welcome to attend. Come and our members, learn about the club, and enjoy refreshments as you enjoy this year's exhibition. And no, we cannot guarantee any showgirls from the Copa Club in Havana. :)

Filoli Photographic Exhibit

Call To Artists

The exhibit will be on display September 14 through October 24, 2010 and is open to b/w and color print photographs. 

The Theme:  Bay Area Wildlife: Beautiful, Vital, Fragile
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to varied examples of wildlife throughout its bay, ocean, marshland and wooded environs. We seek photographs that explore the beauty and vitality of its subject, as well as the craft and skill of the photographer. Images of animals in the air, land, or sea are welcome, as well as landscape photographs of habitat. Photographic subjects could include birds, mammals, fish, insects, amphibians, arthropods, starfish, jellyfish, or even sponges. We place no limits on your imagination. 
The Wildlife Exhibit will consist of the 30 entries juried to be exceptional, finely crafted photographs that reflect the theme. The overall purpose of the exhibit will be to reflect the interdependence of the wildlife surrounding us, to display its beauty, and to draw attention to the importance of preserving this web of life.
