Last Call for April “Share and Learn”

Hi everyone! Just a quick FYI regarding our April meeting that is coming up on Tuesday and you only have a few days left to upload your photos. This month the assignment is “Street Art”. For some suggestions to upload: the Art Car Parade would be awesome and some of Houston’s murals or murals from any other location. The attached photo was taken in Prague on the St Charles Bridge. Music artists play for the tourists trying to sell their CDs.

So far three members have uploaded photos: Chuck Dugand, Chris Summers, and John Gray. For all who would like to share please have them uploaded by 3 pm on Tuesday, April 16th.

Your photos will be added to the agenda this month.

Look for the upload button on the weekly e-blast from Chuck or on the members-only page after you log in. I’m hoping to see more photos in the shared folder before Tuesday!

Have a great night!

Do you think you’re photographing in the right dimension? Well, consider this if you dare…

Silvana Della, our April speaker, is a software engineer by trade. She began her fascination with photography as a very small child. The early fascination turned into a lifelong obsession. Decades later her passion never faltered, but her view of the world evolved. Photographing what the eye can’t perceive is what she loves best to capture.

Past President of the Stony Brook Camera Club in Franklin, Massachusetts, she is the recipient of many photography awards. Her images have appeared in Lighthouse Digest, Yankee Magazine, and the Boston Globe, and were featured in Nikon’s 100th birthday celebration. She has presented and judged at camera club councils, camera clubs, and art associations throughout the US.

Silvana helps others expand their own photographic vision through her photography workshops, photo walks, photo tours, private instruction, and club presentations on various photography topics including infrared, Milky Way, black & white, nightscapes, deep space photography, and time-lapse. She challenges photographers to consider that there is much more in a scene than what is visible to the human eye and to tap into the power of their cameras to discover it.

To her, life is best summarized by the quote “Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death.” – from the 1958 film “Auntie Mame”.
