President’s Message

It’s all about expectations. If our expectations are met we are going to be happy and are likely to repeat the event. All too often our expectations are contradictory to what we think we want or need. As we surveyed the membership of TAPPA last fall we found that many of our members thought that the meal was overpriced, was not unique or especially tasty. The expense was a detriment and a deterrent which kept photographers from coming to our meetings.

We responded by changing the format of the meeting and to no longer include a meal. There has been an unanticipated result of that change.

Although we were providing what our members expected, we found that they were not getting the companionship that sitting around a table and conducting a conversation at the table had been providing. There have been suggestions such as having snacks or drinks in the meeting room to encourage everyone to arrive early. Not having a meal has also made it less important to arrive on time and participate in the networking opportunities at the beginning of the meeting.

The only incentive to get to the meeting on time is if you wish to participate in Salon, the monthly print competition. For that, the images must be turned in not later than 6:15. The judging is from 6:16 to 6:30 and the meeting begins at 6:30.

In addition to the announcements about upcoming events, what is happening in FPP and PPA, we have door prizes and 50/50. This is an opportunity to help TAPPA fund scholarships for the Florida Photography Workshops. If we do not have enough participation in 50/50 we don’t have enough money to fund as many scholarships as we all would like. Right now we are way behind where we should be at this time

of the year. I would ask you to give generously as you are asked to participate. The more you give, the greater your chance of getting a little extra spending money and, much more importantly, the greater your chances to win a scholarship.

This is one of the benefits of being a member of TAPPA. Let’s not let it slip away.

Our speaker begins the presentation at 7:00.

This month we are going to have the unique opportunity to hear a couple who has been extremely successful with their photography.

If you want to know how to stop struggling and start living the good life then this is your opportunity. I hope to see you all there. While you’re there take the time to find our guests and welcome them to TAPPA. Help them feel that they are glad that they came and they definitely want to come back again.

Speaker Bio’s Gregory Daniel M. Photog.,Cr., CPP,F -ASP, FDPE, FSA Lesa Daniel Cr. “Before each of the great masters began their portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings, they sat down in front of a blank canvas. Ready to pour all they knew of their craft into creating brilliant works of art. As I’ve grown and matured as a portrait artist, I’ve learned to approach my work from an artist’s perspective; each session brimming with the potential of a blank canvas, beckoning me to awaken it with my skill and vision”.

Greg and his wife Lesa Daniel are internationally recognized for their artistry. Though he is one of the most awarded photographers in the United States, Greg has the utmost privilege of living out his passion every day alongside Lesa in operating their portrait photography galleries in both Indialantic and Titusville Florida. He has achieved both the title of Master of Photography and The American Society of Photographers Fellowship.

In addition, Greg is was one of the youngest members to be inducted into the prestigious Cameracraftsmen of America in 1991, proud founding member of the International Society of Portrait Artists (ISPA) and on the Board of Directors for Professional Photographers of America.
