Congratulations! This exhibition is a very fine (and - IMHO - well
deserved) prospect!
Thanks; still absorbing it. Three years ago it was beyond my imagination.

Take a nice TOPE - entry from up there ;)
Already done! The TOPE roll came back from processing five days before the
meeting. Two worked better than anticipated "looking through the
viewfinder" and were immediately added to the portfolio.
An aside for the list "at large" about the ADITL and now the TOPE:
Participation has been a major factor in developing my photography over the
past several years. A number of images used for exhibition have been
directly or indirectly spawned by it. They're excellent visualization and
technical execution exercises.
If you haven't done one, consider it. A couple have been easy, but most
are a challenge and a few were very difficult. No strain, no gain. What
does one do for a landscape during late winter with no snow, little foliage
except a few evergreens, nothing in the farm fields but dirt peppered with
grimy corn stubble, and drab overcast sky? Took several weeks of thinking
about it before several ideas visualized and a few days more for methods to
execute them to be resolved.
