SUMMARY:Best of the Year members’ competition  - judging & critiques by Henry Rowan of the PA Center for Photography
DESCRIPTION: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. \n \nHenry 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. \n  \nPhotographically\, 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: \n  \n“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.” \nWorking 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. \nYou may see his work at www.hrowanphotography.com/or contact him at henryrowan.pcp@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Club Members Meeting  -  on ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:An important members meeting will held on ZOOM.  We ask that members please attend on ZOOM as we will be discussing important topics about the future of the club and it’s plans for next year and beyond.  In addition\, we are soliciting interest from members who would like to assume officer and board member positions.  We have a number of potential openings for next year. \nIf interested\, contact any club officer/Board member. \nThere will be no contest this month. \nmessage from the president \nA Word from our President – Jeff Schaeffer\nI hope you are all remaining safe and well during these continued challenging times! \nAs I mentioned in the prior newsletter and at the last couple meetings\, the club really needs your help! \nDuring 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! \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nIn the meantime\, take care\, stay safe\, stay healthy! \nJeff

SUMMARY:Image Competition  --  Pictorial - Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:This too will be a special event as a Photographic Society of America (PSA) representative who has gone through extensive training will judge the submitted images & do a critique of the top 15 scores from each Class. The assigned topic is Portraits within the Pictorial category\, in addition to the Nature category. The assigned image can be a classic pose or an action portrait as long as the subject is isolated & dominant & not part of a big unrelated scene. These portrait images can be of humans or of animals within a man made setting. Just remember\, the image cannot be an animal in a natural environment as that would fall under the Nature category & no Nature images within Pictorial. So\, start working on this assignment & see you in the fall. \n
