Theme: "One color"
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:30pm
2941 Pentagon Dr.
St. Anthony, MN 55418
The UMRA Photo Club will meet at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 10, in the meeting room of the St. Anthony Library located at the east end of the small shopping center at New Brighton and St. Anthony Boulevards in St. Anthony, just north of the Twin Cities.
For those interested in lunch, meet at the nearby Great Dragon Buffet at 11:30 a.m.
“One color” is the theme For February—not that the whole picture must be one color, but all of your theme pictures should clearly feature your color choice. At the meeting, let the Photo Club members try to figure out which is your featured color.
Guidelines for submitting pictures
Submit up to 10 pictures by noon, Monday, February 9, to Al Tims by email.
Within the 10 pictures, you are free to decide how many should be THEME and how many should be CHOICE pictures.
For THEME pictures, the subject line of your email should read Feb UMRA Theme Pictures.
For CHOICE pictures, the subject line of your email should read Feb UMRA Choice Pictures.
It would be best if you could label each picture with the location and, so that your pictures will be shown together, please put your name at the front of each file name. If you want your pictures shown in a particular order, number the files in the order you want them shown. For example:
Mary Brown 1 Gooseberry Falls
Mary Brown 2 State Capitol
If your picture files are so large they do not all fit into one email, just send additional emails. But please, use the correct subject line for each email.
Themes for future meetings (with a likely photo shoot one of these months):
March 10 - Churches and Graveyards
April 16 - Mountains, Valleys and Canyons
May or June - Abandoned and Discarded
