2010 letter ...
Hello,
COMMUNITY
OUT REACH..!
Do
you have a connection to your community? Local, National, or International?
Please
visit our request for Member submissions to the WIPI
Archive of Community Outreach We
had two competitions in 2009
Family Gatherings, Landscapes and Self-Portraits. and Summer
2009 Children, Flowers and Trees. All competitions produced incredible images
by both Members and non-Members.
In these trying times of the economy
worldwide, using the internet to promote your work is one of the best ways to
stay visible and current. It's a time to stay positive, see through the maze of
confusion and hardship and focus on a brighter future.. see it, believe it.. FEEL
IT, know it BELONGS to you! WIPI
has a wonderful history and longevity of promoting women's work. Our Distinguished
Photographer Award and photographer list represents the most credentialed
women in the photo history.
WIPI's
history started in 1981 as a local grass roots Los Angeles non-profit organization.
Carrie Mae Weems was one of our founding members. In 1992 WIPI moved to Seattle
with past director and WIPI board member Nancy Clendaniel to raise her newborn
son Max. In 1999, Nancy, myself and Peter Palmquist rallied round and decided
to launch Women In Photography International as an online resource center. We
are now over 10 years of providing ONLINE visibility past and present to represent
women's work. See our list
of exhibitions and visit our Member
Roster to review the PhotoProfiles as well as links to members websites. And
if you are looking to hire a photographer, check out Hire-A-WIPI-PRO.
Our
F2-eZine section has articles by WIPI
members as well as great info about marketing your work or mini "Sign of
the Times"exhibitions of WIPI member work.

PRO member, send along your stories to Members@womeninphotography.org.

send you info about where to upload your photos. ...We
sure could use some helpful hands now and then, so if you would like to volunteer,
please contact us: members@womeninphotography.org. We would like to update our
website pages and make sure all links are working properly!
