We have a couple new features coming out this week. First let me take the opportunity to introduce Pablo Raw who will be contributing a column on photography tips. Ed. Note: Others readers have expressed interest in a PoPville photography club to get together from time to time. While Pablo will occasionally participate in that as well, I’m gonna set that group up separately, soon. The first meeting will likely be held at Wonderland. Stay tuned.
Pablo in his own words:
“I am pablo.raw
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Pablo, and I am a photographaholic. I carry my camera everywhere, take lots of pictures and some of them happen to be good. His Royal Highness Prince Dan of Petworth asked me to contribute to PoPville by writing a column about photography and I have kindly accepted. (Who can say no to The Prince?).
The idea for the column, is to provide the interested PoPvillagers with tips about taking better photos. Most of the time I would like to talk about things you can do with whatever camera you have, and every once in a while, about things that can be done with most advanced cameras or explain how I’ve done some of the photos posted on this blog.
If you have some suggestions about photography issues you would like me to talk about, feel free to comment on this post, or e-mail me at raw (dot) pablo (at) gmail (dot) com.
Hasta pronto!”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
