With Christmas soon upon us, I've been quite busy trying to keep up with everything. Two weeks ago, I attended my last meeting of The Forum's Readers Board. Our meeting focused on choosing our 6 replacements. We only get to serve for one year, I wish it were for longer than that.

It was quite an enjoyable experience. We learned about the inner workings of print journalism and we offered the editors the public view point on quite a variety of matters. I especially enjoyed visiting with Michael Vosburg, the photo editor, (big surprise there, eh?). Matt von Pinnion, (the editor), told us outgoing members to keep in touch though and that we are still considered a part of The Forum's family.

Jenna just came and picked up her senior portraits. She especially loved the 10x20 Locker print I made for her. I used 6 different images on the print. If weather and schedules merge, we're also going to do one of those winter sessions soon. I'd like to include those images on her DVD slide show.

Before I close, I'd like to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas. I hope your holiday season brings you great joy, it usually does for me.

Mike
