More information on the Conference: The Winning Prints from the 2007 Green Eagle Contest have been posted on the Pictorial Print Division (PPD) Website. A link to the prints has been placed on the PPD Home Page accessed from the Photographic Society of America (PSA) web site at psa-photo.org.

If you had a problem choosing from among your photographs, as to the criteria for which to enter in any of the available competitions offered by PSA, you should give thought to using the services of Ron Genaw, APSA. When questioned as to the function and value of the Personal Print Commentator position served by Ron, his response was," Personal print commentary is meant to try to help people by critiquing their prints. The idea is to comment toward making their prints more likely to earn acceptance in international salons and local competitions." Ron also says that his opinion is not to be considered gospel, but he has had success in international salons and has made the Who's Who list for PSA in every category that he has entered. He prefers your prints be submitted to him in 8-1/2 x 11 or 8 x 10 sizes. If you want your prints back you must include return postage. There is no charge for the service. Ron may be contacted by phone at 586-775-3165, or email at rongenaw l@comcast.net. You will be enriched by his commentaries on your prints.

Joseph Hearst APSA, Director of the Print of the Month (POM) competition reports more than 450 people filed through the print room at Conference viewing the POM First Place winners. There were a lot of admiring comments.
