April 10th - Zoom - "the Important Connection Between Art and Craft" presented by Freeman Patterson
Fluency in the photographic craft, i.e. ease in using photographic tools and techniques and knowing the building blocks of visual design plus useful guidelines for arranging them in picture space (composition) does not produce art any more than fluency in a language means that a person has anything of value to express. ART is conceived in our imagination, our dreams, and our passions. We use CRAFT to give it birth, that is visible or audible form. This presentation explores this important connection.
April 17th - Zoom - "Black and White" presented by Geff Bourke
Bio: I started with film and was driven to understand every aspect of the development process. At one point, I even built my own darkroom to process my images. Like many photographers, I’ve since transitioned to digital photography, using Sony equipment. Digital photography gives me creative freedom, allowing me to manipulate each image to reflect a particular mood or perspective. I still enjoy shooting with film, which I process at home and convert to digital format for further exploration.
My background in graphic arts, which I studied in college, shaped how I compose my images. Understanding design and perspective has had a profound impact on my photography. I hope you enjoy my galleries – they are a true expression of how I see the world.
REMINDER: April 7th - Multi-Club Deadline - Monday at 11:59 PM
Women vs Men Photo Challenge is back!!!
In January, each woman’s name was randomly paired with a male club member, and the two were randomly assigned a category. You may interpret the category as you wish, and you can use images taken at any date. Images must be submitted by May 30, 2025 at midnight (submission instructions will be sent out before then).
The Challenge will be held on June 5, 2025 both at the Church and streamed live on Zoom. Each woman’s image will be shown side-by-side with their male counterpart, where 2 judges (one female, one male) will evaluate and pronounce the winner. The overall Women vs Men winner will be tabulated and announced at the end of the evening.
While this is a Challenge, it is designed to be fun. Embrace the fun!
