I am so excited to announce June's speaker!!

Getting The Light "Off The Camera"!!


Matt will be talking about camera flash techniques - manual and ttl flash.
He will also discuss the new Radio Poppers that he has added to their lighting arsenal.

THURSDAY PUG IT IS!

It seems pretty unanimous that Thursday is the night of choice!  
I like this idea too!  
SO - 
Our next PUG will be 
THURSDAY June 5th  
7pm-9pm  
at Java Vino in the room upstairs!
579 N. Highland Ave NE
Atlanta GA 30307

*** A quick note or two about JavaVino.  Last month Pictage was kind enough to pick up the room rental fee and provide delicious snacks! (including the cream puffs that I seem to have single-handedly devoured)  The fee is not much and I think we will easily cover it as purchases by anyone attending are subtracted from the cost.

So grab a coffee, wine or snack on your way upstairs so that we can keep meeting at this cool space!  Mention to them that you are with the PUG so it gets added to our total! 

ON PARKING
The baristas at JavaVino urged us to use the parking lots next door and across the street if theirs was full.  I pass this on only as what I was told and will update everyone if we learn otherwise!

I can't wait to see you all there and will be posting soon about our next speaker!  I'm very excited about hearing what he has to say!

A fantastic PUG I think!

I hope everyone enjoyed the PUG as much as I did last night! It was great to see so many new faces and plenty of familiar ones as well!

A special THANK YOU to Andrew Niesen of LaCour for speaking with us about storytelling! I am always so impressed by the way LaCour captures life in their images! His process for creating a story through images was so clearly defined and conveyed! It was great to get to peek into how his process works towards the final product!


JavaVino - was great as well! Thank you to Pictage for providing delicious snacks and helping us try out some new digs! Next time - parking will be a little easier - we can use the lot next door and the lot across the street - according to the staff anyway! We would love feed back about the space!

As I said last night - please feel free to share thoughts, ideas and concerns here on the blog! (Lets keep it constructive!) We want to make the Atlanta PUG a great resource and a fun event for YOU!
One concern that we want to address ASAP is NO MORE WEDNESDAYS!! We had numerous requests to return to THURSDAYS - feel free to chime in.

Thanks to Adam our fearless Pictage rep for all the images! You guys look fabulous!
