In addition to having all our questions answered about digital vs. film cameras, members who attended learned about the latest software available for composing scrapbook pages that are photo generated and able to be e-mailed to others.
Skip also shared with us the latest in photo jewelry, tote bags, picture frames and albums. After learning all about the technological advances in photography, the many LC members stayed on to enjoy the living room setting at Van’s and catch up on each other’s recent activities.
And you thought Van’s was just a camera store!  |
