Brazos Valley Professional Photographers Association

Leon County 4H is looking for 2 more photography judges. We only have one judge who has agreed to help us. This is our first year to have a photography group and the kids are excited to display their first prints for competition. We have 9 kids ranging in age from 3rd grade all the way to 10th grade.

Judging will take place in Centerville on March 30th at 6:30 p.m. After all the judging is completed the judges will give the kids some constructive criticism and praise for each one of their prints.

Your help will be appreciated.

If you would be interested please contact Karen Parks.

Thanks!

Major Arnaud

Getting Your Name Out There

This is a business presentation on doing business in the 21st century.  With the problems we have in today’s economy it is not enough to just have a listing in the yellow pages, attend a few bridal shows and do a bulk rate mail out.  You must put your name out everywhere that you can.  Having a website is just the start of promoting your business.  In this program Major will go over the importance of social and business networking, creating a blog, writing articles, how to send out a legal mass email newsletter, attending events, becoming the expert resource for your clients and so much more.

Major’s Bio

Maydrick (Major) Arnaud (pronounced Arno) first discovered the internet in 1994.  With a background in computer technology and certified as a Professional Photographer he immediately realized the incredible marketing potential that World Wide Web had to offer.  So after building his first personal business website in 1995 Major was soon approached by other small businesses to design custom websites for their own companies.  Shortly there after a new company called Major Websites was formed.  For more then a decade now Major Websites has created hundreds of websites for all types of industries and organizations.  Major holds the degree of Photographic Craftsman and was the 2004 and 2008 President of the Professional Photographers Guild of Houston.
