SUMMARY:Betsy Wilson will present "Still Life - Beyond Fruit Bowls and Flowers" via zoom
DESCRIPTION:“Still Life – Beyond Fruit Bowls and Flowers”\nBetsy Wilson will explore the world of still life photography through her unique perspective. A combination of traditional still life subjects\, nature’s fascinating still subjects\, and a few whimsical and unusual creations\, Betsy’s still lifes provide studies in composition and lighting. Unlike landscape or street photography\, the photographer is in complete control of subject matter\, composition\, shape\, color\, depth of field\, lighting and presentation. The true skill lies in the ability to take something mundane and everyday out of its normal habitat and transform it into something of beauty by using our skills as photographers.\nBetsy began learning photography after retiring from a career as a newspaper publisher. Her husband Jim gave her his hand-me-down camera and a lot of encouragement\, and she has never looked back. Her passion for photography includes a wide variety of types including macro\, landscape and nature photography. In addition to being honored as Photographer of the Year Award at the Chester County Camera Club\, she has received numerous recognitions for her artistic photography including a Silver Medal awarded at the Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography\, and First Place Award in Photography at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Betsy is an active member of the Chester County Camera Club\, and has given numerous presentations for area camera clubs. \nhttp://www.letscapturethemoment.com/photo-fun/still-life/ \n*****Important Note******: This free meeting will be held via Zoom.

Seewww.freemanpatterson.com for more information and to read the current and back issues of “Images\, Ideas\, and Reflections”\, Freeman’s periodical letter (six issues per year).\nPatterson was born in Shamper’s Bluff\, New Brunswick\, Canada. He explored several avenues\, including a Master in Divinity degree from Columbia University\, Dean of Religious Studies at Alberta College & film production. He then returned to New Brunswick in 1973 to pursue his personal artistic vision & interests. \nThe Berks Photographic Society has joined forces with the Lancaster Photo Group led by Lynn Garwood and the West Shore Photography Club led by Dennis Baker to enable this incredible opportunity to have Freeman Patterson speak to us via Zoom. This session is sponsored in part by Michael DellaCroce of Retro Photo Reading & Retro Photo York. Thank you\, Michael. \nPatterson’s session is titled “The Call of Creativity”. He begins this presentation by making a clear distinction between art and craft and provides a succinct description of the role of craft in supporting the creation of art. He follows with a talk about the nature of creativity and ways to nurture and develop the creativity with which each of us is born. He includes stories of people who have used their creativity in difficult circumstances to benefit others and follows this with a series of photographs (with commentary) that illustrate his main points and reveal how both the symbols in our dreams and the symbols in our art tell our life story. \nFreeman has presented this program many times and\, in several countries\, – Australia\, New Zealand\, South Africa\, Israel\, France\, the United Kingdom\, Canada\, and the United States – and regularly updates both the spoken and visual content. I urge everyone to not miss this session. It will be one for the books. \nPut this on your calendar and plan to join us for an amazing evening.
