message from the president
A Word from our President – Jeff Schaeffer
I hope you are all remaining safe and well during these continued challenging times!
As I mentioned in the prior newsletter and at the last couple meetings, the club really needs your help!
During the September Board meeting, we had a long discussion on the future of the club. We are realizing that over the last 82 years since the club was established, a lot has changed. We feel we need to take a hard look at the club to determine what the club should look like moving forward. Last September we had a great visioning sessions and heard a lot of ideas and dreams of what we all want to see the club become. Great stuff! However, disappointingly, when it came time for members to sign up to help in 2020, the response was poor. We also asked for members to volunteer to serve on the Board in 2020 and honestly I needed to beg to get enough members to fill our minimum requirements of 5 board members and 5 officers. With the additional challenges we are all facing this year with the pandemic, even some of the current board have needed to reduce their involvement and other board members have had to pick up additional responsibilities. We are definitely in challenging times!
The board is currently identifying specific areas where help is needed. We have some immediate needs to fill as well as responsibilities that need to transition prior to 2021. A few of us do not plan to continue in our officer or board positions next year so the club needs to identify additional members to fill these spots.
The board is canceling the October competition on 10/12 so that we can use that night for an all member “Town Hall’ meeting to discuss the future of the club. We want everyone’s input on what you want to see for our club moving forward, what we should cut back on and what you are willing to contribute to help our club succeed in the future. Please watch your email for additional information in the coming weeks and plan to attend the “Town Hall” meeting on October 12.
In the meantime, take care, stay safe, stay healthy!

Attitude, Inspiration and Composition: A No BS Approach To Photography - Rich Lewis
2020-10-19 19:30 - 21:30
Rich returns to BPS after his very well received presentation on “Both Sides of Judging” in February 2020. This new talk isn’t a lesson in basic composition, it is a serious but entertaining look at the 3 fundamental building blocks required to create great photography.
Rich has been a professional and fine art photographer since the 1970’s with a passion for landscapes, abandoned buildings and interesting people. He uses both a professional digital camera and an iPhone to create his work. Rich’s inspiration comes from landscape painters and has developed a style he calls “Painting with a Camera.” This involves equal effort in both creating and post processing an image. Richard is an active photography blogger, lecturer, and instructor and conducts workshops in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and other places to help photographers find their unique creative voice. His website: RichardLewisPhotography.com
Details are in the BPS member center on our website. This will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. If you are currently not a member, please refer to the BPS website for information on membership (https://berksphotographic.org/) & for the option to donate $10 for the Zoom link information, https://www.pay.berkscamera.org/product/attitude-inspiration-and-composition-a-no-bs-approach-to-photography-by-rich-lewis/.

“Wabi-Sabi” presented by Lisa & Tom Cuchara
2020-11-16 19:30 - 21:30 | ZOOM
On November 16 at 7:30 PM, Lisa & Tom Cuchara will present their new program “Wabi-Sabi” via Zoom. This program will explore the beauty of imperfect and/or unconventional subjects. This program highlights subjects that are not perfect, such as flowers that have character, double headed flowers, decaying fall leaves, the deformed coneflower that stands out as flawed and hence different and beautiful, rust as it creates abstract patterns amidst the decay, etc. We will also explore the concept of slowing down and appreciating the beauty of everyday life, things that might be overlooked. Wabi-Sabi teaches one to find beauty in everyday life. It is a kind of anti-aesthetic, an alternative to the dominating discriminatory ideas we hold about beauty.
“Wabi” means a beauty of elegant imperfection. “Sabi” means aloneness. Together, they suggest the beauty of ‘the withered, weathered, tarnished, scarred, intimate, coarse, earthly, evanescent, tentative, ephemeral’ ~ Crispin Sartwell, Six Names of Beauty. It is used to describe a particular philosophy that beauty can be found in the old, the everyday, the imperfect.
Lisa Cuchara, PhD, Master Craftsman (PPA), Master of Photography (M. Photog.) HonNEC is very passionate about photography and enjoys both being behind the lens and in the digital darkroom. She loves to photograph nature but finds many subjects equally intriguing. Lisa and her husband Tom are known for their expertise in Photography and in Photoshop, and for their inspirational and informative photography workshops. Lisa has created numerous award-winning photographic images and enjoys sharing her vision, passion and her knowledge! Her photographs have appeared in Adirondack Life, Wild Bird, Birder’s World, in calendars, on the cover of a fictional paperback novel, in galleries and exhibitions, and been accepted into the PPA loan collection. Lisa & Tom have published two books with Amherst Media “Create Fine Art Photographs from Historic Places and Rusty Things” and “The Frog Whisperer”. Check out Lisa and Tom and their photography classes, photo tours and workshops at www.photographybylisaandtom.com.
This free meeting will be held via Zoom. Details are in the BPS member center on our website. For non-members interested in attending this session as a guest, please refer to the BPS website for information on membership (www.berksphotographic.org) &/or email BPS at info@berksphotographic.com for a guest pass to the meeting.

"Finding Beauty in the Broken" presented by Valerie A. Hoffman
2020-11-30 19:30 - 21:30 | ZOOM
BPS member Valerie A. Hoffman will present “Finding Beauty in the Broken” via Zoom.

This program will cover a variety of abandoned, broken and rusty subjects that Valerie has encountered along the road. Valerie’s goal is to not only introduce a new or different type of subject matter than you may be used to photographing, but also to help you to see more creatively the common things that are present most anywhere you roam. Learn to look closer, where you will find shapes, patterns, textures, bold color, and sometimes hidden faces and characters. And, become thrilled by the opportunities to create interesting and unique images that are limited only by your vision.

Valerie A. Hoffman is an avid landscape, wildlife, architectural and real estate photographer based in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania. With a degree in photography, more than 35 years working in the photography industry and teaching private photography lessons, group classes and workshops, Valerie loves to inspire people to take their photography skills to deeper and more creative levels.

Best of the Year members’ competition - judging & critiques by Henry Rowan of the PA Center for Photography
2020-12-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Berks Photographic Society, 201 Washington St., Reading, PA, 19601, United States
BPS Photo Competition – “Best of the Year” judging & critiques by Henry Rowan of the PA Center for Photography from among the 91 award winning Class A & B images from the 2020 BPS photo competitions. Eligible winners of this event from Class A & B will be submitted to the International Michael Day Competition in January 2021.

Henry is a national award-winning photographer and the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Center for Photography (PCP) in Doylestown. In addition to being a working, professional photographer, Henry is a frequent lecturer and judge throughout the region and teaches a variety of workshops at the PCP. Henry’s work is frequently on display at galleries and shows and he has gained a following for his distinctive style of portraiture as well as his unique portrayal of manscapes, nature, and sports.

Photographically, Henry’s style is well defined but somewhat difficult to describe. He plays with movement, light, and color in unison to create images that are easy to identify as his. The driving theme of his work is his concept of Non-Existent Imagery:

“The images I create never existed and never will exist. They are combinations of angles, colors, light, time, lenses, sensors, and more, which produce images that the human eye can’t see and the human mind can’t process in real life. Unlike the photojournalist, I am not trying to capture a moment in time, but rather I am hoping to create a feeling in space that conveys the essence of the subject.”
Working within this framework provides a great deal of artistic freedom and fosters a worldview that is both individualistic and offers unlimited creative opportunities. Many of his images are the result of hours of work and are part of his CameraGraph® series, in which post-processing plays a major role to visually construct his “reality”. Regardless of the scene, Henry strives to reveal the essence of his subjects in a manner that is as unique as the subjects themselves.
You may see his work at www.hrowanphotography.com/or contact him at henryrowan.pcp@gmail.com.

Mitch Dobrowner will present “The Still Earth” via Zoom
2021-10-18 19:30 - 21:30 | ZOOM
Mitch is an outstanding fine art photographer. His imagery is magnificent. His landscapes are incredibly breathtaking. His storm chasing scenes are other-worldly & considered the best of this genre.
“Growing up on Long Island (Bethpage), NY, I felt lost in my late teens. Worried about my future direction in life, my father gave me an old Argus rangefinder to fool around with. Little did he realize what an important gesture that would turn out to be for me. After doing some research and seeing the images of Minor White and Ansel Adams I quickly became addicted to photography.
I left home at 21, quitting my job, leaving my friends and family to see the American Southwest for myself. In California I eventually met my wife, and together we had 3 children, and created our own design studio – and the tasks of running a business and raising a family took priority to photography. During that time I stopped taking pictures. Years later, in early 2005, inspired by my wife, children and friends – I again picked up my cameras. I’ve been on a mission since then to create images that help evoke how I see our amazing planet.
I owe much to the great photographers of the past, especially Ansel Adams, for their dedication to the craft and for inspiring me in my late teens. Though I have never met them, their inspiration helped me determine the course my life would take.
I live with my wife Wendy, my son Joshua, our dog Jet and our brat cat Jax in our homes in Los Angeles and Lone Pine, California.”
