The Digital Forum came from the original Digital Forum educational meeting Lynn Reiger started long ago. For a while, it was held in New Berlin in the basement of a bank. It later moved to the Menomonee Falls Public Library. We met once a month, and it was a two-hour educational meeting, usually on some processing program such as Adobe Elements. We added Photoshop, which became just an informative couple of hours. We would sometimes have special guests come in and do a talk or two.

The Digital Forum (DFM) meets on the 4th Saturday of the month from 10 AM Central time to Noon.

The first hour of our digital meeting will be a special topic or a guest speaker. Our guest is a talented photographer with a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. We look forward to learning from them and hearing about their journey as a photographer. Our second hour is dedicated to a question-and-answer session. This is a great opportunity for all of us to share our knowledge, ask questions, and learn from each other. Please feel free to ask any questions about photography, whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer.

If you have questions about attending, Topic suggestions, or any suggestions to help make this an interesting virtual meeting, please send them to me at waccoprogram@gmail.com or 262 893-3500.
