Calendar of Meetings/Programs

November 10, 2020--7pm, Zoom meeting. Presentation: Joanne Barsanti, Getting Creative with Your Photography

In this totally revamped presentation, Joanne Barsanti will provide a few tips for getting those creative juices flowing, going behind the scenes with some recent creations for a look at the tools, techniques, and thought processes that go into the making of her photomontages. Finally, she will talk about the specialty papers that she uses, and the new directions that her work is taking today.

This image, There is Hope, part of Joanne's presentation, was created as an inspiration piece during the pandemic sheltering.

December 1, 2020--7pm, Zoom meeting, DPI Competition

January 5, 2021--7pm, Zoom meeting, Presentation: Jeff Stipes, Creating Digital Photo Albums

How do I join a Zoom meeting?

What you will need to do is go to the App Store and download the Zoom image.pngapp on your laptop, phone or computer as long as it has a camera and microphone. Almost all laptops and cell phones do but flip phones don't. If you have a PC and a newer monitor, you will see a small camera on the monitor.
