Hello amazing photographers,

I enjoyed visiting with many of you at the Gateway Grill on Thursday.
If you missed it, I encourage you to stop by McMenamin’s on Thursday, April 24th to enjoy some live conversation.

Here’s what’s happening in April. Hope you can join all or at least some of these events.

Meetings – On Zoom, Thursdays at 6:30pm

April 3 — Challenge Night
This month’s challenge is signs of spring. 
You are invited to capture and share images of your experiences as the cold, wet, dark winter turns to sunny, warm, colorful spring. Whether your interest is flowers, birds, waterfalls or landscapes, it’s a great time of year to shoot! So dig the camera out of the closet, point it at something spring-like, and create some digital memories for Challenge Night.

April 10 — Education Night
Presentation by Kas Stone. 
Behind the Scenes: The Making of a Photograph
“This presentation features an integrated approach to the photographic process, from the time we feel the first stirrings of visual inspiration, through the labyrinth of technical and compositional decisions we make when crafting an image, to the finished photograph we present to the world.”
See her work at www.kasstone.ca.

April 17 — Photo Forum Night
Open night for sharing images, trip reports, or something you learned. 
Tell the group about your current projects, ask for feedback, or rave about your new gear.
Or just listen. Up to you.
