GFAF Wins Silver at District Two ADDY Regional Competition

Congratulations to Casey Berry of Salisbury University who received a Silver ADDY for her “Where’s My Mind” Illustration at the District Two Regional ADDY competition, held in NYC. This was the second of the three tier annual ADDY competition. Casey won a Gold ADDY for her work at the local level, the GFAF ADDY Awards, held on March 7th. Her work will now move on to compete at the National ADDY Awards, the final tier, held this year in Washington DC, June 4-6, at the AAF Conference.

The Frederick Area Photographers Roundtable

Look what happens when members attend one of GFAF’s FREE roundtables!

A year ago in February, the Greater Frederick Advertising Federation’s roundtable series featured a photographers’ roundtable. The discussions included job pricing and techniques for getting new clients. The lunch meeting was a success. It sparked many of the attendees to want to carry on that momentum and meet the next month.

That conversation has been going strong for just over a year as a group called The Frederick Area Photographers Round Table (FAPR). The group consists of a dozen or more professional photographers, cinematographers and members of the design community who are looking to share their knowledge and get their questions answered. “I like the fellowship, the atmosphere of freely sharing experience and information, of ‘being there’ to help one another… The feeling of camaraderie – rather than competition. And, getting to know the folks who make up our ‘community.’ Friends you can count on.” said Ira Wexler of Ira Wexler Photography. [Read more →]
