SUMMARY:Valerie Hoffman “Garden Photography”
DESCRIPTION:– April 7\, 2025 at 7:00 PM: Valerie Hoffman will share her insights on “Garden Photography”\nValerie Hoffman loves photography AND gardens! This photography educator who has led many Photo Treks and workshops is also a member of BPS. Valerie cannot remember a time in her life when photography was not a passion. From a very young age\, she began taking pictures and learning the fundamentals of photography.  This passion led her to pursue a degree in photography\, as well as embark on a career in the photographic retail world. For more than 25 years I worked in the industry\, selling photographic equipment and helping customers with their photographic needs. In 2009\, she began teaching private photography lessons\, then group classes and workshops.She loves sharing her 40+ years of photographic knowledge and helping inspire people to take their photography skills to deeper and more creative levels. \nValerie describes her presentation this way\, “Spring is here (in April\, of course:)\, and for those who love to capture the beauty of flowers in bloom\, there’s no better time than now to head out to a local garden and create some beautiful images. And the best part is that here in PA\, we have a ton of great places to visit. They don’t call the Greater Philadelphia area America’s Garden Capital for nothing! \nEven for those who are less inclined to photograph flowers\, their variety and bold colors provide a great opportunity for some creative images. \nJoin me as I take you on a journey through some of my favorite local gardens. We will discuss the best times to visit for different blooms\, best conditions\, along with tips on gear\, composition\, camera settings and more!”

SUMMARY:John Barclay will present “Through the Lens of Love”
DESCRIPTION:April 21\, 2025 at 7:00 PM: John Barclay will present “Through the Lens of Love” \n  \nJohn Barclay says\, “If you are like me\, you’ve probably chased after images\, even images you might have seen searching for inspiration on social media. You may have even created a checklist to be sure you got exactly what you planned for. You have likely gone out with expectations only to be disappointed when the conditions were not right\, or you did not find what you had hoped for. \n  \nRealizing that photography is a creative art form\, I am constantly exploring new ways to connect with my subject. Over the last few years\, I have been learning to fall in love with rather than just photograph what I am drawn to. Love? Really? What does love have to do with it? That is what this presentation will disclose. How does the love of my subjects influence my photography? It boils down to this — I photograph what makes my heart sing! \n  \nIn this presentation\, I will share stories and my thoughts from a 20 year journey to where I now look through the lens of love. I hope you will join me.” \n  \nJohn Barclay is an award winning freelance photographer based in Bucks County\, PA. \nJohn is a passionate photographer\, enthusiastic workshop leader and inspirational \nspeaker\, presenting his programs to audiences around the world. John is an Ambassador for Maven Filters and Lensbaby\, and\, well known\, for his Topaz Webinars. John’s work has been published in a number of books and magazines\, including the highly esteemed Lenswork Magazine\, and is treasured by a number of private collectors.  \nRecently\, Johnwas the recipient of an excellence award from B&W Magazine\, had his B&W Aurorafolio featured in Lenswork. John was chosen by Dewitt Jones to participate in his www.healingimages.org program. You can learn more about John\, his work\, and\, view his workshop schedule at www.barclayphoto.com \n  \n
