SUMMARY:David Day “Creative Intentional Camera Movement” 
DESCRIPTION: March 3\, 2025 at 7:00 PM: David Day will give a presentation entitled “ICM in the Studio…..A Different Approach to Creating Abstract Images” \n  \nDavid Day resides in Flat Rock\, NC. His interest in fine art monochrome and infrared photography began in Connecticut during the 1990’s. During that time\, he utilized traditional photographic and darkroom techniques to produce New England themed images such as light houses and revolution era landmarks. \n  \nAfter moving to North Carolina in 2014\, David took several years off from exhibiting his work to focus on developing a new form of abstract photography. From a happy accident that occurred one afternoon in his studio\, he found that application of intentional camera movement techniques to simple still-life subjects such as string\, wire\, leaves\, weeds\, and tissue paper produced abstract images that were completely different from images produced by other ICM photographers. \n  \nHis early ICM experiments resulted in new techniques and images that have earned a variety of innovation and recognition awards including ‘Artist of the Year’ at the Northern Light Gallery in Albuquerque\, NM. His work has also been featured in several local and regional magazines as well as a number of on-line exhibitions and publications. \n  \nAt present\, David’s focus is on production of ICM images utilizing plastic bags\, tissue paper\, newsprint and glass objects as subject matter. He has produced a number of YouTube videos to teach his methods to others and coordinates an on-line collective of over 3\,500 members to further the development of abstract ICM-generated photography.   https://ddayicmart.com/ \nJoin us at the GoggleWorks\, or request a Zoom link to join online at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/ . For this meeting a donation (for non-members) is accepted but not required. \n

SUMMARY:March Competition - "A Time to Reflect"
DESCRIPTION:March Competition – “A Time to Reflect”\nBy James Egitto \nOur theme for this competition is A Time to Reflect. Sometimes it’s the reflections that catch our eye and inspire our compositions. Maybe it’s a reflection in water\, glass\, metal\, or a pupil. Maybe it’s a mirror image\, or an abstract distortion\, or a hidden detail\, or that double-exposure effect created by a window. \nReflect on what you can create in the next few weeks and show us what you’ve got.  Categories are Nature and Pictorial\, and the submission deadline is midnight\, Sunday March 16\, 2025. . The judging/critique will be on March 31. \nAll members are encouraged to get out and shoot for this competition. If you are new to the club\, we hope you’ll give it a try. If you’ve been a member forever and have never entered a competition\, now’s the time. If you always enter – do it again! Look around – reflective surfaces are everywhere – lakes\, ponds\, puddles\, plastic\, metal\, or windows!\nYou can read all of the details on BPS competitions HERE. \nOur judge for this competition is Michael Brown. Here’s some of what Michael had to say when we asked him about himself: \n“To me\, photography is an exercise of mindfulness – a respect for what I see\, and the tools I work with. My photos are an expression of what interests me. I enjoy exploring the subject of my interest with the camera. It is a means for me to better understand the world around me\, and it doesn’t matter if thousands of others took photos from the same perspective because the perspective is new to me\, the exploration and visualization are new to me. \nI’ve been critiquing photographs and portfolios for 15 years. Recently I was certified as a competition judge by the Maryland Photography Alliance which offers and provides guidance\, training\, presentations\, and competition judging to its member camera clubs. \nI assess photographs the same way I assess any art\, if it grabs my attention\, I get closer. If it holds my attention and is compelling\, I explore. During exploration\, I critique. What do I like or don’t like? Why? How can it be improved\, or what would make it better? A photograph has to inform me\, tell me something I don’t already know\, or provide me a unique perspective to something I do know. \nAs with all art\, critiques of photographs are subjective\, therefore prone to error and bias. Yes\, there are technical aspects of captured images that can be measured\, but what role they play in making an image compelling is up to the viewer.”
