We had an excellent turnout for our May meeting. For the monthly topics I’ve attached the Agenda for you to preview. Our speaker, Jim Nix, provided us with some great tips regarding travel photography. You can find more about Jim on YouTube: Jim Nix’s YouTube Channel. Lots of photography tutorials, tips, tricks, and reviews. He photographs to please himself but has had photos displayed in magazines and sold. The club had another fantastic program.
Chris Summers reviewed our membership and we are very close to last year’s numbers. We had two family memberships join this month: Dawn Abram & Carlie Sawyer, and Jim & Elena Gonzales. Welcome to our club!
John Gray mentioned that he is almost out of hats so if you desire one of our club hats order sooner than later so you are not disappointed. In the future, the club will exit merchandise so these will be limited edition hats!
Annular Solar Eclipse is coming Oct 14 and Mike and I will be hosting a workshop on Sept 2. Registration will be opening in August for an afternoon at the Kingwood Public Library. This is the first of two solar eclipse events coming to Texas. The second one will be on April 8, 2024, and will be a total eclipse. Both eclipses can be seen in the Hill Country, if you are interested in viewing and photographing these events get a room reservation now.
Randi and Jim are keeping our club activities calendar full. We are coming to the hot summer when we take a break from outdoor photo events. Check out the list of events in the agenda and posted on our website and on Facebook.
Pam Walton wanted to remind members to add their recommendations to the “KWPC Travel Spreadsheet”. The link is also on the Monday e-blast. This is a trip-planning resource with guides and Photo Tour recommendations. You will find recommendations for the USA and outside the USA. Download the PDF and please add any recommendations you have.
For all those members that have the desire to share their work, Steve Hansen and Tim Sullivan have found a location, Cove Craft Beer and Wine, that will allow us to hang a few of our photos. The agenda has all the particulars. In the beginning, the owner was looking for Texas themes but at the meeting, Steve said he was open to any photos. We are getting good feedback so think about showing off some of your prized photos.
The June 20th meeting will feature speaker David Downs on “Exploring the Artist Within” and our Share and Learn is “Foods We Love”, more on both in another post.
The last two slides give you the schedules for both upcoming programs and our Share and Learn topics.
Finally, I’d like to thank Ron and Cathy Fovargue and Jim and Elena Gonzales for volunteering to be our Christmas Social Committee. This is our one big social of the year (no program) for members and I’m very pleased that they volunteered! Thank you both and welcome to the club Jim and Elena Gonzales!
Check out the agenda and the May Gallery “Wildlife in your Neighborhood” is also uploaded. Enjoy and hope you make the meeting next month. Kathy Muhle
