Suppliers
B&H Photo Video - There
are lots of big mail-order houses in New York City. Most of the
serious photogs I know go to B&H - you're not likely to beat
their prices, especially on film.
Penn Camera - Six retail
stores in DC, Maryland and Virginia.
Erie Color Slide Club -
(814)456-7578. Sells cropping slide mounts, masks, etc. We haven't
been able to raise them on the telephone lately, maybe out of
business.

chain in the Philadelphia area, lots of resources on their web

page! Mark took off a couple of days from work in April 2001 to

was terrific!
Judging Photos - Another
website by Mark Aksoy, this is a MUST READ for judges and

& heed", and the competitor will learn a bit of what judges
are looking for and also be able to appreciate the difficulty the
judges face in scoring a diverse collection of images fairly.

then they are Associates or Fellows in PSA. Individuals and clubs
can be members.

yet... do it now! Several members have attended and raved about

You won't be sorry! By the way, you don't have to use Nikon
products to get the most out of it.
