October 2023 General Meeting: Copyright? Yes! with Barb Norton

by Ellen Nelson

All photographers have very valuable commodities in their possession – their photographs. But do they legally own them? Can someone steal them? And what about this artificial intelligence we’ve all been hearing about? Is it going to affect photographers and, for that matter, photography in general? Find out what copyright is all about – how and what it protects; and what can be done if the copyright is infringed. And find out also what threats loom – namely, artificial intelligence.

September 2023 General Meeting: The Original Influencers with Greg Holden

by Ellen Nelson


GREG HOLDEN
The Original Influencers

During the dawn of photography from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, it was common for photographers to be inspired by the works of their peers. This presentation will showcase Greg’s collection of photo comparisons including photographs from both well-known photographers such as Edward Steichen, Alfred Stiglitz, and Dorothea Lange; and perhaps an introduction to lesser-known photographers such as George Tice, Jaromir Funke, and A. Aubrey Bodine. The presentation concludes with a comparison of how Greg’s photos have been inspired by these master photographers.

Join Greg and the Evergreen Camera Club in person in the auditorium at the Evergreen Fire and Rescue Station (1802 Bergen Parkway, Evergreen) on Wednesday, September 13th for 6:30 pm social time, brief announcements at 7:00 pm with Greg’s presentation following.

March 2023 General Meeting: The Art of Seeing B&W with Jeff Johnson

by Ellen Nelson


JEFF JOHNSON
The Art of Seeing B&W

“Our eyes see color. Our souls feel black and white,” Jeff Johnson explains.

Learn to see differently for black and white photography. In black and white landscape photography, the golden hour is no longer the golden rule. Jeff will illustrate that light direction, intensity and how it can sculpt a scene are more primary factors in selecting an image to consider for black and white, making mid-morning and midafternoon a part of your photography creation time.

Join Jeff for an in-depth look at how he creates his award-winning black and white
photography. To learn more about Jeff, see soulroadtrips.com

This is a virtual Zoom meeting, so log in with Evergreen Camera Club on Wednesday, March 8th for social time at 6:30 pm and announcements at 7:00 pm followed by Jeff’s presentation. New members, students and guests are welcome.
