The first meeting is now past and although I was not able to attend, by all accounts it was a hit! Many good images from many members as well as a very informative presentation from Colby Munger. Keep up the good work and participation.
The October 5th meeting of the Digital Photography Club of Annapolis will be both informative and entertaining. Our guest speaker is Barbara Ellison who will give a presentation on creative imaging and printing. I have had the pleasure of knowing Barbara for almost 20 years, both professionally and personally.
Barbara has had the fortune of being able to combine four of her favorite pastimes into her imaging career-photography, art, gardening and travel. Barbara has photographed events ranging from politics including National Conventions and Presidential Inaugurations, to sporting events like the Atlanta Olympics, Kentucky Derby and NASCAR. When her husband Michael opened an orchid nursery she found that she was drawn to those unusual orchids and was able to spend time exploring different ways to present them.
Barbary has taught photography workshops at Palm Beach Photographic Center, Horizon Photo Workshops, Woodstock Photo Workshops, Blue Ridge Photo Workshops and Bella Photo Art & Framing Gallery. She is also one of the highlighted instructors annually at Photofusion held in Delray Beach, FL.
Her work is published in the books "Digital Photo Art" by Thereas Airey and books by Patrick Rice titled "Professional Techniques for Black and White Digital Photography" and "Digital Infrared Photography". Her pastels enhanced orchids were featured in an article in the "August 2005 edition of the online magazine "Digitaljouranlist.org". She has shown in galleries in Florida, Ohio and Maryland.
Barbara currently resides with her husband, dogs and cat in Goldvein, Virginia.
We will also get updates on field trips, upcoming exhibits, challenges and a web walk.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday night Oct. 5th.
