Shirley Holzinger hawks a can of the coveted MasterGuard Blurr-Begone at the gala Grand Opening evening of the Trade Show	Lars attends his first convention with his parents Neil and Miriam. Hmmmm....didn't we see this same scene about 13 years ago?

The Trade Show gave photographers a chance to see the latest in props and equipment as well as take advantage of specials.	The popular Print Exhibit, open to the public, showcases the top images from the best Northwest photographers.

The "Professional Profiles" mini-lecture series was new this year, and proved to be very popular. Shown above is photojournalist guest speaker Julie Keefe.	Good times (maybe TOO good) were had in the hospitality suite by Kirk and Sue Redlin, Dick Schacht, John Perrin, and Richard May. .

Hanson Fong does a demonstration of bridal posing using willing photographers as models. Don't they make a handsome couple!	The ever-popular Dean Collins explains light ratios and diffused highlights once again. One of these days, the photographers will understand it..

The Prom Team, of Park and Schacht once again donate their time to do the most thankless job in the world : photograph other photographers!	Fudge and Pat await the Masters' Touch as Dick and Colin take their "Prom Photo" at the banquet

Special guest Lee Kinnear Devore helped present the Scholarship Awards, started in honor of her late husband Dee Kinnear who, as a past president and avid educator, did so much for our organization.	Convention chairman Colin Park is passed the gavel by outgoing president Bill Lind. Now Bill can retire to the status of has-been and pass the heat to someone else.

Lisa Lamping is presented with her F.P. Degree by Barb Barker as her children stand with her. Congratulations Lisa!	Colin Park receives his F.P. degree before going through the congratulatory line of others that have achieved it in past years. Way to go Colin!
