| President's Message |
February 2014
This winter has been colder and snowier than most and I hope many of you have been able to take advantage of the pretty white landscapes, frozen waterfalls or frosty windows and icy plants. The DC monuments are particularly attractive in snow as are many statues, and headstones like those in Arlington National Cemetery. Let's not forget that museums and Botanical Gardens are open for business in winter and the crowds are minimal compared to the busy summer months.
The February field trip will be to the Marine Corps Museum on February 15, in Quantico, VA. And, no need to wait till spring to capture great flower pictures. For example, look into the US Botanical Gardens next to the Capitol building (http://www.usbg.gov/), Lewis Ginter Garden in Richmond (http://www.lewisginter.org/), the Rawlings Conservatory in Baltimore (http://www.rawlingsconservatory.org/) or Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA (http://longwoodgardens.org/). I also see that our friend and accomplished photo instructor, Josh Taylor (http://www.joshuataylorphotography.com/ ), has a "Photographing Orchids" workshop planned for February 28 at Longwood Gardens. Check the websites for directions, hours and ticket prices. I believe all of these gardens are tripod friendly, but call first to get details.
Final Thoughts
The great thing about photography is that it knows no season. Winter is as good a time as any to get out and make beautiful images. Take advantage of these unique conditions that will be over-and-done-with in just a few short weeks. Soon the signs of spring will be upon us as a new cycle begins. When out shooting, look for unique opportunities and be open to try something different or learn something new. Look for that Out of Place composition to submit in February's themed competition.

February 4th: Jeff Mauritzen – National Geographic Assignments
Jeff Mauritzen has recently completed an extensive shoot for National Geographic Kids, photographing wildlife in Kenya, Tanzania, and the Galapagos for a recently published Animal Encyclopedia. His travels have immersed him in vivid landscapes and dramatic situations in nearly 50 countries around the world. Whether capturing 360-degree panoramas of wildlife along an African savanna or photographing sharks in the Pacific depths, Jeff's work expresses an unwavering passion, respect, curiosity, and awe for the natural world.
Locally, Jeff shoots a mix of editorial and commercial work and has been the principal photographer for the official visitor guide books for Washington, DC, Fairfax County, Prince William County and Manassas.
When not a shooting assignment, Jeff travels and lectures as a Naturalist and Photography Expert for National Geographic Expeditions and Smithsonian Journeys. In 2014 he will be leading expeditions to the volcanoes and jungles of Costa Rica, Australia's wild northwest as well as the ruins of Machu Picchu and Darwin's "living laboratory" in the Galapagos Islands.
Jeff also volunteers in local wildlife and photography associations. He is the DC/South chapter president for the American Society of Picture Professionals and also volunteers his photography with Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy.
This presentation will feature wildlife and landscape images from the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania, Maasai Mara, Galapagos Island and Costa Rica. Jeff will be sharing images and stories from his first assignment photographing wildlife for a National Geographic Animal Encyclopedia as well as work taken on his recent trips to Costa Rica as a Photography and Naturalist Expert for National Geographic Expeditions.

February 11th: Bryan Mangan – Africa Beyond the Camera
Bryan Mangan is a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer and enthusiastic hobby photographer. Over a twenty-year military career, he often carried a camera with him during training and military operations in the United States, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Shooting from helicopters and armored vehicles, in jungle rain and mud and desert dust and sand, he captured Marines performing their daily activities, and occasionally making history.
During a two-year assignment in Nairobi, Kenya, he made dozens of trips to game parks and destinations in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Kenya. He took thousands of pictures of African wildlife, and came away with many pointers and recommendations for photographers traveling to East Africa. "Africa Beyond the Camera: Practical Advice to Maximize Your Safari Experience" provides suggestions and advice to take full advantage of your photographic opportunities while on Africa's great plains.
Bryan Mangan describes himself as an advanced amateur photographer, not a pro. He acknowledges that some members may have better pictures than his, but he is fairly certain that no one in the club will have spent as much time watching African wildlife! From 2010 to 2012 he worked for the U.S. Marine Corps out of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, and travelled to Kenya's game parks on multiple occasions. While there he learned quite a few things about finding animals and working with African guides.
If you'd like to see some of his work you can go to his website (www.namesgoat.smugmug.com) (Password: Nairobi) which has some examples of the pictures he will use for the presentation.

February 18th: Competition – Judge Cindi Hobgood – Out of Place
Susan Phillips and Beth Morris, Co-VPs of Competition are pleased to welcome Cindi Hobgood with the competition theme Out of Place. This was originally scheduled as the theme for the January Competition and was shifted to February due to the weather cancellation.
For more than 25 years, Cindi traveled the world scouting film and television locations for major Hollywood studios, thus the name of her Washington based photo tour company, SCOUT Photo Expeditions!
Location scouting for the entertainment industry sent Cindi and her camera to more than 20 states and 10 countries where she found the perfect stage for the boy to kiss the girl, the battle to be waged, or the child to romp in the jungle. During the scouting process Cindi would photograph hundreds of locations in countless ways in order to translate a "sense of place" to the directors, production designers, and cinematographers on a given project.
Cindi scouted locations for more than 160 projects, including Separate But Equal, The Patriot, Jungle Book, The Notebook, Dear John, The Amazing Race and Wheel of Fortune; working for Paramount, Columbia Pictures, Disney, New Line Cinema, HBO, United Artists, Republic Pictures, and Sony among others. Cindi worked for some of the most highly recognized and established producers and directors in the industry.
An award-winning photographer, Cindi studied photography at UNC Chapel Hill in the Radio, Television, Motion Picture department. She went on to study at Savannah College of Art and Design and after Hurricane Hugo, headed to California to attend Brooks Institute of Photography.
In recent years she is known for using the iPhone as a creative tool and has been recognized internationally for her distinctive style of art. She has exhibited her work at various galleries across the United States, garnering numerous awards, most notably The Mobile Photo Awards, winner of the "Perfect Photo" Category, The Best Mobile Photography and Art Images of 2013 and has given workshops and presentations at numerous events as wide ranging as corporation functions to the National Conservation Lands Foundation. She currently leads workshops across the country, an upcoming workshop in Italy and teaches at Montgomery College.
Cindi Hobgood is a member of Destination DC (the Washington, DC Convention and Tourism corporation) and Women Photojournalists of Washington.

February 25th: Dan Ward - Serendipity in Photography
In the documentary "Eye on the Sixties," photographer Rowland Scherman laments that even relatively inexpensive cameras have the accumulated wisdom of Ansel Adams built into the camera. It is increasingly easy for anyone to take a good photo and much more difficult for dedicated photographers to distinguish their work via technical skill alone.
NVPS newsletter editor, Dan Ward, is our February Forum Speaker. He will talk about role of serendipity in photography - the good fortune of being in the right place at the right time to capture a special image. Scientist Louis Pasteur said "Chance favors the prepared mind." Dan will share examples of ways some photographers consistently increase their odds of getting "a lucky shot" and include a few of his luckiest captures.
Dan's first formal photography lesson was a few hours of coaching on how to use a fully manual Rolleflex Twin Lens Reflex. Appointed the head photographer for his high school, he quickly learned the exciting challenge of trying to capture fast moving events using a fully manual camera, light meter, potato masher flash, and plus-x film. Useable photos were usually the result of anticipating what would happen next and zooming with his feet to where the best vantage point would be. While he experiments with other types of photos, he still prefers taking candid images and will often be found out and about with a single 50mm f/1.4 lens, stalking the next "interesting" view.

February 25th: Prints – Lea Schlosser
Lea Schlosser's introduction to photography came in middle school when she had to choose between taking home economics or media arts. So naturally she chose media arts and was hooked. She found it more enjoyable to spend the school day outside taking pictures of her friends than sitting inside a stuffy classroom.
In high school, Lea blew her first paycheck on a Pentax P3 film camera. Several years later Lea's dad encouraged her to go digital. She refused, as her film camera worked just fine. So he bought her one. Again, Lea was hooked and used that camera until a fateful water balloon fight with her brother ruined her little Sony digital. She then took the plunge and upgraded to a more serious digital camera and eventually a DSLR.
Over the years Lea has mainly taken pictures of family, friends and when traveling. However, shortly before joining NVPS in 2010, she started to become more serious about photography and expanded her subject matter. Her print presentation will include abstract pictures taken over the last few years. Most of the images were taken on her tabletop setup using a lightbox. However, there are a few "found" abstracts.
February 25th: Digital – Patricia Deege – Africa
Patricia Deege has been a member of NVPS for at least ten years. She began serious photography in 1995, when she joined the Vienna Photographic Society and took photography courses with Fairfax County Continuing Education. She currently considers herself a very serious amateur. Primarily, Patricia likes to shoot nature, but will attempt any kind of photography. Recently, she has experimented with infrared and with making video clips for the first time with her latest Nikon camera. She uses Nikon digital equipment, a D7000, a D200 as backup, and a D70 converted for infrared. Patricia also has a small Panasonic point and shoot with a great Leica lens.
Patricia worked for nine years in the International Monetary Fund as an Administrative Assistant in their Asian Department. She retired in 1987 to get married and moved to California for three years. On returning to Virginia, now with three children, she subsequently worked many jobs for temporary companies and in the Community Liaison Office of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo where she and her family were stationed for four years with the Agency for International Development. Her family has now expanded to include three wonderful daughters-in-law and six grandchildren.
Patricia's photographic goals are simple: to continue improving her craft, to enjoy the photographic journey - wherever it may lead her, and to share her love of this fascinating hobby with anyone who cares to look at her work.
