A Master of Photographic Arts designation is achieved by accumulating a required number of image and service merits. PPOC members can earn merits in a variety of ways such as: image acceptance in the PPOC national image salon, accreditations, volunteering for the national association or its regions, attending photographic educational events, and by promoting professional photography. This designation is a trademark of PPOC and once earned a member in good standing can use the letters MPA after their name. Returning something to the profession, which provides their livelihood, is part of the responsibility of holders of the MPA title.
Below is one of my two images that hung in the National Image Competition this year. "Meconopsis Grandis AKA Blue Poppies" received a Merit. It is the second image I have had selected to be in the PPOC Loan Collection. In 2014 Competition"Running Parallel" rteceived an Excellence and was also selected to hang in the Loan Collection.
"Moon Seekers", a Fine Art image, was Accepted in this year's Image Competition.
