Betty Billingham	Wow! What a super image. What a fascinating result. Was that 'Cher' of 'Sonny and Cher' fame that you went to see?
Bob Feinberg	Love it Sam! Perfect! Sell it to Cher's PR manager!.
Leonie Holmes	A great action image. I would like to se this one with the top part where it says. 'her' cloned or copped out. I think it would enhance the image even more.
Mark Southard	You always do such fine work and this is no exception. They should use it as an advertisement ... even make a huge neon sign from it.
Paula Davies	An interesting effect has been achieved as a result of your work on the images. I find myself mesmerised by the word at the top of the image. I feel that it spells Cher but if so the H is longer on one side than the other. So you have left me with a puzzle. I'm not sure what the image is supposed to represent but it is very colourful..
Witta Priester	A well-presented, striking and colorful image. It definitely captures the feel of Las Vegas! To improve, I would add some blue to the Cher part of the image. It seems too monochromatic (and perhaps too red), compared to the rest of the image, yet my eye goes to the text, perhaps because I like to read, or because the 'font' is so interesting.

Member's Biography
	Sam Shaw FPSA, PPSA I was born in California and have lived here my whole life except for the time I spent in the Navy. I am married and have two children, a son and a daughter. After high school and the Navy I attended a Junior College where I received an Associates of Arts degree, then on to a California State College where I received a Bachelors of Science degree, major in Mathematics and minor in Physics.
After working for about six years, I went back to school at night and earned a Masters degree in Computer Science. My main work background has been with computers, programming and systems design. I have written programs in 10 to 12 computer languages. For the past 28 years, I have been in management in everything from Data Processing, Benefits, Property Management, Risk Management, Pension, Records Retention and am now doing special projects in the financial area. I have been interested in photography since high school but am relatively new to camera clubs and PSA. I joined the Modesto Color Camera Club and PSA in 1993, and started international competitions in 1995. Currently I have 4 stars in Color, 3 in Nature (with enough acceptances for my 4th), 3 in Photojournalism, and 3 in Travel. I started producing the newsletter for the camera club the first year I joined, and have been the president of the Modesto Club and the San Joaquin Council. I have also been the PSA Nature Division Exhibition Standards Chairman for two years and I am currently the Chairman for the Nature Division of PSA. I was the 2000 PSA International General Chairman. I've produced programs on Digital Imaging, Color topics, Travel destinations and Photojournalism, these have been shown at local travel and service groups, camera clubs, Gold Rush Chapter, Foto-Clave and the PSA International Conference. I use Canon equipment and have for as long as I have had a 35 mm camera. I really enjoy being able to merge photography and computers. I do tend toward creating weird images rather than fixing up photographs.
