Other News: This group will not be having very many activities for the month of August. I'm currently in the process of moving and will be MIA for a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, my co-organizer, Ming is hosting a series of Lighting workshops that have been getting quite popular. He will be repeating his beginner and advanced workshops some time in August, so keep a lookout for the event invite.

See you all soon...
