PPO Convention 2007

We have spent the past 4 days at our annual state convention for the Professional Photographers of Oregon. It all started on Friday with the "Print Competition" where photographers from around the state enter their best work into different categories ranging from Portrait, Wedding, Commercial, Illustrative and Digital enhancement.

We were honored with the following awards and distinctions:

Bob Welsh:

• BEST Portrait - Animal
• Court of Honor

Bryan Welsh:

• BEST Illustrative - Photojournalism (96 points out of 100)
• BEST BLACK AND WHITE - Henry Fehly, M. Photog. Trophy
• BEST AGGREGATE SCORE - MIXED DIVISION
• ASP State Elite Award
  
• Judges Choice
• Court of Honor

Sheryl and I gave a program about working ON / IN / THROUGH your business where we discussed the current projects, styles and developments at MIT. We enjoy being able to share our years of experience with our fellow photographers, both local and from around the country.

Sheryl also received her AFP Degree "Associate Fellow of Photography" for her service to the Professional Photographers of Oregon.

It was a great convention and time of sharing with our friends and fellow photographers. This is our 28th year of membership in the organization and we look forward to serving and sharing for many years ahead. The Professional Photographers of Oregon also celebrated it's 60th Anniversary.
