Photo Society BBQ

September 2nd 2008:

First meeting of the year was the annual Photo Society BBQ and what an amazing turn out we had. I think we had more people there than we have ever had since I have been here. It was also one of the few times that it managed not to rain on us (although we wish it would have to get rid of some of humidity!). While things began with a rocky start due to some last minute issues and kinks, all was well in the end and everyone left with full bellies.

I also apologize for the lack of quality in the pictures for the website this time (you would think there would be awesome quality pics on photography website…). Evidently, my point and shoot just wasn’t cutting it this time.
