Photo Contest

By Les Muldorf

In October four photograps were submitted to the APCUG contest. The judging was at the annual meeting in Las Vegas in January. I am pleased to announce that the photo shown on the left, Under Construction, won First Place in the still life category, and Third Place in the Judges " Best of Show. "

This just shows what can happen if we keep taking pictures. You can start by getting them into the MicroChip, and showing them at the Digital SIG.
