Our March meeting was a trip to teh Sunland Park Racetrack where we learned a little about betting on horses and a lot on taking pictures of them. A great turnout of over 35 members.  Nancy Swanson's great image was typical of the member's great work! 

Let by local Photographer Ryan Stead, members of PEEP invaded teh El PAso Whole Foods Market for a morning of food photography. Ryan helped members set up and shoot their work, as well as critiqued some of their shots. Most attendees were using their LumeCube miniPanels as part of their workshop experience. 

PEEP members recieved LumeCube Panel Mini Lights with tripods as an incentive for renewing or joining the club by Jan 1, 2024. We handed out 80 panels and 50 tripods to an overflow crowd of members!  Thank you LUMECUBE for your generous support.
