August 2016
The club has many talented mem-
bers recognized both within and
by many outside organizations. We
take great pride in their success,
feeling we contributed along the
way. The PSA Journal recently
featured club member Jan Lee,
APSA, EPSA, by recognizing her
background, technical expertise,
and her focus as an artist. I am
pleased to share her personal ap-
proach and feelings producing im-
ages that have become recognized
around the world. Editor

Inside this issue:
where the fun is, because my goal
is to learn something from every
image I work on.
I always strive for excellence, but
I don’t expect perfection. I
learned long ago that true excel-
lence does not equal perfection,
and never will. Whether in my
own work, or when I am privi-
leged to serve as a judge, I never
reserve my highest praise for only
the “perfect” results.
Cont’d . . .
Unless I am out specifically out on
a Nature shoot, or at an event that I
hope will provide Photojournalism
opportunities, I am usually looking
for monochrome images. I learned
at a very early age to “see” in
mono, and I am seldom completely
wrong when I get the file open in
my computer. Basically, I am
more of an opportunist. I shoot
that I think I will enjoy working on
and can make into an interesting
image. It really doesn’t matter
where I am. Sometimes I succeed
- sometimes I don’t. And that is
Reflecting in the Harbor

I hope for high technical quality, strong visual im-
pact, an interesting and engaging story, a memora-
ble perspective, or true beauty. I am happy when I
feel I have reached any three of these. Occasion-
ally, when I worked really hard or got really lucky,
I have achieved all of them. Those images are my
dreams come true.
In as much as my parents were both talented paint-
ers, I was lucky to be able to study drawing, paint-
ing, and sculpting from an early age. My father
was also an avid photographer, who put my first
camera in my hand when I was in kindergarten.
Although I loved it, I was never very good at the
painting. I loved the photography too, but was
seldom really happy with my negative or slide. I
never felt I reached higher than the craftsman level
in my work. Today, the wonderful tools we have
available to us to fine tune our digital captures are
making it possible for me to finally become the
artist that I always wanted to be. On the other
hand, even that doesn’t really matter, because I am
having just such a wonderful time.

Cross Continental Circuit - 2016
This year, the Oklahoma Camera Club will continue to host the North American leg of the Cross Continental
Circuit (CCC). This is a PSA recognized international photographic exhibition with judging conducted in
North America, Europe, and Asia.
Last year, the inaugural year of the CCC, our club members did a great job in every aspect of running a suc-
cessful exhibition. We had a good time, were beneficial to the world photographic community, and managed
to make the club a little money along the way.
The judging will be conducted on December 2 & 3, please mark your calendars. As the co-chairmen, Ward
Conaway, J.D. McClung and Jan Lee, APSA EPSA, encourage all of you all to give the same level of sup-
port this year for this prestigious exhibition.
