- ON eBay - As shown at meeting by Dustie Meads
Updated - Search on Ebay for: Aluminum ballhead monopod 68" for camera free shipping
or item number 220373202281 - The Seller is Selina1900
If anyone wants one but don't feel safe buying on Ebay, you can mail me 33.00 and I'll buy it for you. Keep in mind though, it is coming from China and anytime something is ordered internationally, there's a small chance it may not arrive in a timely manner and a very slim chance it may not arrive at all. I've never not had something arrive, but it is possible. I'll be glad to order for you, but the risk, is yours should something go amiss. --Dustie Meads

Learn more about Composition

Photographic Society of America (PSA)
9/4/009 - I recently joined PSA and am enjoying the benefits. They have experts that will evaluate your photos. You pick the category such as architecture, portraits, & etc. Then email your picture. They are fast at replying. This helps you prepare your photo before bringing it to the club. The PSA membership is much more than a monthly magazine so consider joining (www.psa-photo.org).
