  • SEMO.net Is Building a Team of Photographers

    Are you an amateur photographer? SEMO.net is building a team of photographers for a project we are working on. We are not looking for professional photographers with side businesses, we are talking about amateurs who love photography and enjoy trying to catch that perfect shot and would love to have their work appear online for the area to see. If you are interested then please contact me at brian@semo.net and send me links to some of your favorite shots. Don't overwhelm me with 50, narrow it down to less than 10 photos. It's okay if you just send me one or two. Just so it allows me to see how good you are with a camera.
