Maine Convention 2008 - Monday - Time to LEARN!

The dreaded print racks! It takes an engineering degree to figure these puppies out."Tab 'A' in slot 'B', then twist 'C' until it locks in 'D'?" Alan teaches me more French swear words.

Mark just looks like he's working. He's actually catching up on "Desperate Housewives"Don Chick give Bob Akers tip on his images (and further advice on world domination).
Rene Genest shows us all how to create a better competition image. Then Joan gets up and tells us REALLY how to make a better competition image.
Joan Genest doing her thing.

Freeport Maine. Home of LL Bean. Time for some shopping!But wait! What's this right NEXT to LL Bean? Hmmm... surely no one would be in there...
Figures who'd be in here. Don't worry Bob, Alan, Bernie, and Jim, no one will ever know you were here.
New PPANE Prez motto.Jim Churchill came back 4 days in a row - he finally figured it out.

Greetings from the Maine Convention Banquet. Right after this, I gave my PPANE Prez speech and put everyone into a deep coma.

Maine's Photographer of the Year! Congratulations Bob!
Last year's photographer of the year - Barbara Tobey shows off her talent. Later, five security guards wrestle Barbara to the ground and pry the cup from her hands so Bob can have it for the year.

Love, love, love your blog, Bernie! Congratulations to Bob for winning the big one (and for taking the trophy, hmmmm), to all the first time entrants and their awards, and to all the members who won awards this year! Bob has big plans for MPPA and I am sure he is going to do a great job at the helm of MPPA. His motto is ACTION so be ready to get involved this year!
