Monday, Sep 28, 7pm · Image Discussion (Zoom)
At this Zoom meeting, we'll discuss images in an open, supportive way. Images are not judged or scored. All members are encouraged to submit one image (any subject).
Monday, Oct 5, 7pm · Personal Portfolios (in person)
For this in person meeting, please bring a sample "portfolio" of your images. This can be on an iPad or similar tablet, a laptop, a 3-ring binder of prints, photo album, calendar, or book. Bring 5-8 images to discuss. The goal is to share this within a small group to discuss the creative progression of our individual body of work.
The point of this is to show some of our range and development as a photographer, and provide some revelation of our inner self. It’s also a method to connect socially with each other in a more intimate way, so each members participation is crucial. We’ll have small discussion tables set up throughout the room, and we’ll swap out our seats as time allows to cross paths with as many fellow members as possible in the time available. It should be a very exciting and unique meeting!
Tonight: Bring in your black & white print tonight (10/5) for the Print Competition next week (10/12).
Monday, Oct 12, 7pm · Black & White Print Competition (in person)
