For the first time this year, Evergreen Camera Club teamed up with Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice to spearhead and design the 2021 Seasons of Our Mountains Calendar. Over 150 photos taken in Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice’s 4-county mountain community of landscapes and wildlife were submitted by 59 photographers. The photos were anonymously voted by ECC members at the July general meeting and by public vote in August.

Raptor Photo Shoot Fundraiser!

by Guest

Hey everyone! I wanted to send you this flyer about our upcoming photo shoot fundraiser with Opperman Photographics! Oct 9, 10, and 11th we will have different species of raptors each day and many of them will be flying. The funds will help us care for our raptor ambassadors and rehab patients during fall as we have lost most of our school and library programs due to the pandemic. The shoot will be socially distanced and masks will be required. We will be in beautiful Canon City and Florence, Colorado with some incredible desert backdrops! Space is limited to 10 people – there are 8 spots available on Saturday, but Friday and Sunday still have 10 slots open. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please pass along to anyone you think might be interested – beginner or advanced! Thank you and hope to see you there!

  • We need blog posts – The general topics are listed on the website. Feel free to interpret those topics in any way you choose
  • We’d like longer form articles

The Western Pack Burro Association is looking for

The Western Pack Burro Association is looking for <br>Photographers

The Western Pack Burro Association is looking for Photographers to help photograph their summer races. The races are held in historic mining towns throughout Colorado in honor of the old miners that would race their burros over the mountain passes during the gold and silver rush days. All experience levels are welcome to participate. It is a great opportunity to develop skills. The races take place in very scenic areas and provide plenty of opportunities to practice artistic skills. The burros provide some really fun photo opportunities as well, as they tend to have a mind of their own. In past years some of the photographers photos have even been published in magazines. Here are links to sign up for each race. Sign up for as few or as many as you wish. If the sign up for a race is full contact Barbara Gertz at cbgertz@gmail.com and she can get you registered. Also a few of the races require some travel, if you are interested but would like to carpool to the race also contact Barbara and she can help to connect you to other members that are attending.

Here are the links to all the races. Feel free to contact Barbara with any questions you may have.

Free Antique Photo Equipment

I was approached by Bruce Hansen at the Evergreen Art Center who was looking to give away a complete color enlarger system and a dry mount press. He will recycle them if no one wants them, but would love to give them to someone who would use them. He sent me the pictures below – please contact him at 303 909 2631 if you are interested in any of this gear.
