#14 Check

"Form a local photography group." Check!
So last week I began searching for local photogs that would be interested in getting together to have group shoots! The interest was a hit and now after a few days a local photog group is born. I started a yahoo group for us and we have begun the planning process for our first group shoot. Yay! I'm so excited for it. So far we have 21 interested photogs. Membership is by invitation only but if you are a WA photographer and an ILP member and interested in joining, please do. The link to our ILP WA Photogs is: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ilpwaphotogs/ We are planning our first shoot in February! :)
