Member's Gallery and Forum
Nov 25th, 2008 - Members Gallery: Prints by Dale Williams & Digital Projection by Bob and Willa Friedman
Members Gallery on Nov 25th will include Prints by Dale Williams & Digital Projection by Bob and Willa Friedman. Join us for their presentations immediately followed by November's Forum Presentation. The following are the biographies of the members presenting on Nov 25th: Dale Williams Dale Williams was introduced to photography in the mid-1940s by his grandfather who, with his Kodak folding camera, tripod, light meter and black cloth, took those reversed images from the frosted glass and made black and white prints. Other than some experimentation with "drugstore cameras" during the early teen years, Dale's interest in photography lay dormant until he entered the military after college and was stationed on Europe. Photographing military sites was part of his duties and the desire to record the beautiful scenery, culture and architecture reawakened his interest. Bob and Willa Friedman Bob and Willa Friedman have been actively photographing for the last three years. Bob had a darkroom when he was growing up, while Willa came to photography very suddenly after they were married. After graduating from college, Willa was an instructor at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. She was given a choice of several assignments as a summer project. These included cleaning small animal cages and filing old paperwork. One choice was photographing wildlife in city parks. She chose the photography and was handed an SLR camera and a light meter. Over the following weekend, Bob taught her enough to have a photo published in a fourth grade social studies textbook. |
