Carmen Carvajal presents "Organizing Family Photos & Memories: Creating a Lasting Legacy"
Are your photos in a state of chaos and disorder? Are you struggling with how to manage all your memories? Carmen will highlight key considerations for preserving memories and the stories behind them, to build a family legacy that will endure. Her presentation aligns with Save Your Photos Month, a public service concept promoted by The Photo Managers organization.
Greg Thiessen presents "A Hike into the Unknown – Photography with an Explorer’s Mindset"
Greg's Member Showcase demonstrates that he's always been an explorer at heart. When a good trail beckons, he doesn't hesitate to lug his camera gear along to capture the thrill of the hike. He’s learned that it’s all about perspective and attitude and taking the time to find those photographic gems – whether they’re 10 km in from the trailhead or a few steps from the car.
