To study and Talk about Members Photographs This group is dedicated to the art of correctly capturing and presenting what we see and feel. What we photograph is not as important as how we capture it and present it for viewing. It is not about what we have in our camera bag, but rather our unique way of seeing and capturing what inspires and moves us. Something amazing incorrectly captured is nearly worthless; the web is filled with such work. We meet bi-weekly to share our images and get feedb …

This Meetup group is for fans of indies, documentaries, and international films.  Sarasota is fortunate to have Burns Court Cinema, which is run by the Sarasota Film Society, and shows the thought-provoking, beautiful, amusing, and unusual films the mainstream cinemas are not interested in.  These films often better represent the experience of being human—joy, sadness, camaraderie, loneliness, discoveries, and blunders.  The Burns Court Cinema is located in a cute neighborhood in the middle of S …

This group is about meeting like-minded AP parents. What this group is not about is judging other parents who aren't exactly like us in every way. Some cloth diaper; some don't. Some are fanatical about organic/clean/local food; some aren't. Some are birth junkies; some aren't. We welcome families who practice extended breastfeeding and those who tried and were unable to breast feed. We don't address politics or religion; Everyday Natural bridges those gaps, so let's just stick to parenting. Whe …
