SKPA is re-stocking the gallery section of their website. The gallery contains wonderful and touching images by SKPA staff and board members. It also shows representative work by photographers who are well-known presenters at national photographic conventions. This adorable image has been shared with us by Dennis Craft, (www.craftphotography.com), past president of Professional Photographers of America. Photographers may be represented in our gallery section by submitting their work for review. If accepted, the charge for contributed image and live link to the photographer's website is only $75 per year with live link to their website. Why participate? Agencies and other businesses go to our gallery to review images for purchase. A posting in our gallery section is well worth the investment.

Don't miss upcoming webinars by Marathon Press. Check out dates of Mar 23 and Apr 27 (only $15 each)
