This Monday's meeting should be fun to see how we all interpret the challenge "Transportation"
Our reviewer for this meeting will be Michael Sheras. Mike's photographic career began in the early 1970's. After graduating from University of Illinois College of Law Mike decided that his future would be better spent at his passion, photography. Michael has had the opportunity over the years to work with many famous photographers including Ansell Adams, Art Wolf, Nick Nichols, Sam Abell, Eddie Adams and all of the Presidential photographers since President Reagan to mention just a few. One of Mikes early jobs was as a photo editor for Petersens Photographic Magazine. His images have been published in many magazines and newspapers throughout his career.
Mike has photographed events including Presidential Inaugurations, national political conventions, summer and winter Olympics here and abroad, NASCAR events, Formula 1 events, Indy 500 and many others to numerous to list in a short bio.
Since 1985 Mike has been a Professional Market Representative with Canon USA and in this capacity has many years of teaching photography at photo workshops around the world. His experiences and knowledge will bring great insight into our challenge "Transportation".

DPCA Meeting Monday April 12th
Its amazing how time fly's and can get away from you. Well it almost felt like summer had arrived, but back to reality.
This Mondays meeting promises to be a great one. We will first hear from and be entertained by our guest (who just happens to be the first place winner of our exhibit in the Chaney Gallery). Hunter Harris is an accomplished aerial photographer and his images of the Chesapeake Bay area that will show the changes in the area over a period of years will be both inspiring and enlightening.
The second half of the evening we will go down to the second floor to the Chaney Gallery where Hunter will answer questions about his work. We will also hear from some of the other award winners who will give us insight into what inspired them to shoot their images on display. And the crowing jewel of the evening will be the awarding of the Peoples Choice Award from the exhibit. During Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts Art Fest the public got to vote for their favorite image in the show.
Plan to be there and see if the public's opinion is any different from that of our judge. For those who have not taken the time to visit this exhibit this will be a great time to see not only our clubs talents but those from outside the club who were selected to show their works. You can be your own judge and see how your opinion stacks up to our experts and the public at large.
Also keep in mind that our next challenge will be coming due soon. The challenge is Transportation. Use your imagination and see what you can come up with. Is it planes, trains and automobiles (like the movie), or something else that just takes you away!
Hope to see you all at the meeting Monday night.
