SUMMARY:“Attitude\, Inspiration and Composition\, A no BS Approach to Photography” via Zoom.
DESCRIPTION:Rich Lewis\, our judge for several 2021 BPS photo competitions\, will give a session titled “Attitude\, Inspiration and Composition\, A no BS Approach to Photography” via Zoom. \n This isn’t just a lesson in basic composition\, it is a serious but entertaining look at the three fundamental building blocks required to create great photography. \nOf all the things in photography\, composition is the thing photographers struggle with the most. This is because composition is more completely subjective\, but rarely taught that way. Composition also needs to be put in perspective with two other important components in order to be applied to one’s photography effectively. Those components are: Attitude – How to put yourself in the right mind and give yourself permission to create the way you want. Inspiration – We all need inspiration\, but there is a fine line between imitating the work that inspires us and using it to create something unique. You will learn to navigate that fine line. Composition – More than a set of rules\, learn how composition is actually a method of communication. All of this will be covered in the presentation with examples and even a fun test at the end.\nRich has been a professional and fine art photographer since the 1970’s with a passion for landscapes\, especially the New Jersey Pine Barrens\, abandoned buildings and interesting people. Richard’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.\nHe is an active photography blogger\, lecturer\, instructor and conducts workshops in the New Jersey Pine Barrens to help photographers find their unique creative voice. His book “Photographing the New Jersey Pine Barrens\, A Complete Photography Guide” was recently released & is available from his website & Amazon. To learn more about Rich\, visit his website:RichardLewisPhotography.com.\nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation.\nFor non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. At checkout\, please specify “Rich Lewis – June 20\, 2022” in the Additional information/Order Notes box. Once we receive your donation\, your pass will be emailed to you. The deadline to request passes for this event is the Wednesday before the meeting.

SUMMARY:Sheep and Wool day at Springton Manor Farm &  Iron Pour & Forge Fest.
DESCRIPTION:Next up in our ongoing club outings will be on April 30th. We’re planning on a doubleheader event so there should be something for everyone. First in the morning we’ll be meeting for the Sheep and Wool day at Springton Manor Farm in Glenmoore\, PA.

The new baby animals are in the barns for the kids to pet\, and as always the Springton goats will be posing for portraits. Admission is free and there is free remote parking with a short bus ride to the farm.  We plan to meet at 11:30 in front of the Manor House which is on your right as you enter the park.  You can get more information about the event schedule and directions to the farm at their website https://www.chesco.org/2307/Sheep-Wool . \nLater in the day we’ll be close to “home base” at the GoggleWorks for the annual Iron Pour & Forge Fest. The Forge Fest is from 2 to 7pm followed by the Iron Pour from 7 to 10pm.  Blacksmith demonstrations\, food and music will keep everyone busy during the day. We’ll plan to meet later in the day at 5:30 to prepare for the Iron Pour at 7:00 where there will be plenty of heat and sparks flying for us to photograph. More info on the festival can be found on the Google Works web site at this address.  https://goggleworks.org/event/spring-iron-pour-forge-fest/  \nSo if you like the soft and fuzzy stuff join us in the morning at Springton Manor then finish it off with the hard pounding anvil action of the Iron Pour. \nHope to see lots of new faces at our next outing.

SUMMARY:Sean Kernan will present “Setting the Photographer Aside” via zoom
DESCRIPTION:Sean Kernan will present “Setting the Photographer Aside” to BPS via Zoom. Kernan will discuss a few foundational points\, then talk about the idea of releasing one’s ideas and working in the almost childlike presence that is the state of creativity.\nSo\, do you know Sean Kernan’s work? If you don’t\, check out his website HERE. He is extremely amazing.\nSean Kernan is a widely-exhibited photographer\, writer\, film maker and teacher\, focused on the exploration of creativity. He is the author of The Secret Books (with Jorge Luis Borges)\, Among Trees (With Anthony Doerr)\, Darrell Petit In Stone\, and Looking Into the Light\, on creativity and photography. Kernan’s photographic work has been exhibited and published in France\, Mexico\, Egypt\, Greece\, China\, Italy\, Switzerland\, Iran\, Korea\, and across the U.S. He has made the award-winning films\, Crow Stories\, The Kampala Boxing Club\, A Mind of Winter\, and The Visitor. He has also collaborated with the dance company of choreographer Alison Chase on a theater/dance/multimedia work\, Drowned\, that premiered at MASS MoCA. Clients include AT&T\, Knoll\, GE\, Pratt and Whitney\, New York Times\, Smithsonian\, Bloomberg\, Harvard. Kernan has taught and lectured at the New School/Parsons\, Art Center Pasadena\, Yale Medical School\, ICP\, and the University of Texas\, and he has written for Communication Arts\, Lenswork\, and Graphis.\nI learned of Sean Kernan when I watched John Paul Caponigro (our speaker on November 15) interview him as part of a Santa Fe Workshops series. Here is the posting of this webinar by John Paul in his newsletter “Insights”. I was quite overwhelmed by Kernan.\nThere are so many facets to Kernan. You’ll see this immediately if you spend time on his website. I don’t believe that I’ve ever spent so much time on a website before and I’ve enjoyed every visit. His portrait shots are very mesmerizing. His landscapes\, so emotional. I have watched all of his videography. “Crow Stories” just aired to the public for the first time on October 15\, 2021 and the venue was on the Crow Reservation near Yellowstone NP in Montana with Kernan present. The film is so incredibly good. His techniques of blending stories together is great as are his fade ins and outs with voices trailing over. “Crow Stories” tells intimate life stories and the many details of Crow life as seen through a special private looking glass as well as having amazing scenery. Sean has really captured something special. His short film “The Visitor” is such a touching tribute to his family’s past. We should all have such memories. The film was put together with so much feeling\, passion and creativity.\nKernan does workshops through Maine Media and Santa Fe Workshops. Here is his book site. \nSean Kernan has incredibly agreed to speak to BPS. Wait until you see the presentation of this giant among us. \nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation.\nFor non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. At checkout\, please specify “Sean Kernan – February 21” in the Additional information/Order Notes box.

SUMMARY:"Time in Motion"- Creating Images in Camera or Cell Phone to show motion
DESCRIPTION:“Time in Motion”- Creating Images in Camera or Cell Phone to show motion\nFebruary 7th- at the Goggleworks (Pandemic and weather permitting) \nDutch Bagley will explore creating motion images in-camera. The images are a single exposure\, made in manual mode with LIVE view\, the camera settings are set to the current lighting conditions and a combination of physical movements of the camera/lens\, and body/hands is then determined. The interplay of minimalistic static elements and create a previsualized idea of what will be captured during exposure\, how the lines/curves will be composed in a final portrait/landscape format. The basic photographic view is visualizing and capturing the architecture and structure of objects in the world around me. But once the lines\, curves\, arcs and angles are seen and exposed\, Dutch looks to see how those elements may give them a sense of motion\, a sense of mystery\, a sense of possibly being imbued with energy and life. The images are highly abstractive in their composition\, and it becomes gratifying to the maker if the viewer tends to move their head in different directions to gain a better perspective or understanding of what has been presented.\nDutch’s photographic education is a self-taught one\, exploring all aspects of image making. When capturing an image\, Dutch tries to see the final result\, ‘before’ pressing the shutter. He believes that what we observe\, feel and experience\, forms the core of one’s life’s story. Part of his story is reflected in photographic images taken in an instant of time\, in his world\, that here and now. The act of processing those images allows him to express how deeply\, either with awe\, joy or sadness\, those moments in time have affected him. His images are how he tells his story. He has been photographing for his pleasure since the 1970’s with large format cameras and some film and DSLR’s. In 2014 he joined his first camera club\, which evolved into becoming a member of five clubs\, entered national competitions and made photographic presentations to local clubs. His favorite subjects are: architecture primarily in NYC\, abandoned buildings and single exposure intentional camera movement. Dutch is the Director of Curation for the Lakefront and Millstone River Galleries in NJ\nhttps://www.photographsbydutch.net \n

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.

SUMMARY:Mitch Dobrowner will present “The Still Earth” via Zoom
DESCRIPTION: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.\n“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.\nI 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.\nI 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.\nI 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.”\nCheck out Mitch’s incredible work on his WEBSITE.
