SEPTEMBER 9, 2015 – GENERAL MEETING – BERGEN PARK FIRE STATION 7PM (6:30pm SOCIAL TIME)-PRESENTER: ROB PALMER

Photography has always been a part of Rob’s life. He began taking pictures with a Polaroid black and white camera when he was twelve, then quickly moved on to a 35 mm SLR. His first SLR was a Kowa. In high school he became the school’s photographer and was able to use the school’s Pentax cameras. The basics in photography have stuck with him.
