SUMMARY:“Art Comes From The Heart”  -  Clyde Butcher  ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:On October 5 at 7:30\, Clyde Butcher\, the world renowned\, very large format\, Florida Everglades photographer will hold a special Zoom session for Berks Photographic Society members titled “Art Comes From The Heart”. Clyde will explain how he graduated in architecture in 1964 & how he became a professional landscape photographer in 1969\, first in B&W\, then in color\, and how he made a living at it. Then he’ll go into his current life…the change back to b&w\, images of his darkroom\, galleries\, and\, of course his b&w images with stories of taking the photo. He began with a tiny camera that held one piece of 35mm film to 8×10” & 12×20” view cameras\, and then\, after his recent stroke\, to his small Leica. Mr. Butcher’s story is one of determination and perseverance. \nClyde has been called the next Ansel Adams by Popular Photography magazine\, awarded as a humanitarian for acting for the betterment of his community\, and recognized as a conservationist for bringing issues to the forefront of public consciousness through his art. His photography transcends political boundaries\, challenging us to work together to protect natural places across the globe. With his work exhibited worldwide\, Clyde’s heartfelt commitment to record precious landscapes and peaceful sanctuaries throughout the world finds a common ground between all viewers. More than 10\,000 people have viewed Clyde’s 2012TEDxSarasota YouTube presentation\, and he has been featured in six PBS programs focused on the Florida environment\, three becoming award-winning documentaries. His work is captured in multiple table-top books\, including America the Beautiful\, a collection of work from across the United States; Big Cypress Swamp ~ The Western Everglades; and Portfolio II ~ Florida. \nMore information about Clyde Butcher can be found on his website: www.clydebutcher.com & his traveling exhibit web site: www.clydebutchertravelingexhibits.com  \nFor 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.

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:Attitude\, Inspiration and Composition: A No BS Approach To Photography - Rich Lewis
DESCRIPTION: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.\nRich 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\nDetails 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/.
