Photo Fridays!
Hey everyone! Wow, we can't believe the interest you all have shown in the first week, and we are so excited to get started! So without further ado, we present to you the first Photo Friday! What better way to start off Syllipsi's weekly competition, than to remember the year that was: 2005. That's right people, we want your Schweetest Shots of 2005! So here's what you got to do...browse through your favorite shots, pick you top three, e-mail them to syllipsi@gmail.com or give a CD to either Chris or me (Jeff) and, then we will pick the winning image and perhaps some honorable mentions. (hopefully, we will be able to figure out a way for you all to post yourselves and vote for your favorites for the next comp.). All photos are due no later than Thursday night at 11:59! We will announce the winner (who will get the honor of being featured on the Blog and of course braggin' rights) and the next week's theme on friday...hence the title: PHOTO FRIDAYS!

Introducing Syllipsi
Well, afer much thought, planning and anticipation, we are excited to announce to you the start of the first photography club Westmont has ever seen: SYLLIPSI. The purpose of this cool new entity is to create a venue for Westmont photographers that enables them to showcase their work, learn from their peers, and ultimately become better photographers. We hope to unite the Westmont community through the artistic medium of photography and learn how to freeze moments in time, capture the expression of emotion and appreciate the beauty in God’s creation.
You may be askin' "of what do you speak when you say Syllipsi?" Well, syllipsi is the Greek word for capture. And we photographers capture images, eh? see the connection? I know, I know we are just that cool...
So I bet you want to get involved, don't ya? well, bookmark this page and check back regularly to see when and how!
Well, seeing that one of our goals is to learn how to take better photographs, what better way to learn a few things than the uber cool SimplePhotoMinute from SimplePhotoLife.com, created by our very own advisor, Dane Sanders. Each Wednesday, a new episode airs and shows us something cool about photography...but no sense in my explaining it to you all...check out the latest
