Bill Corbett – Prints
Bill Corbett picked up the camera again about ten years ago to take advantage of the digital darkroom. A generalist photographer in college, nowadays he enjoys action, nature and travel photography. Birds and family are his most frequent subjects.
Bill has been an NVPS member for about five years and before that was a member of the McLean Photo Club.
Bill uses Nikon equipment. He is a former U.S. diplomat and trade negotiator, and has been active in organizing Nature Visions.
Polly Terriberry – Digital
When Polly Terriberry quit work in 2000, she decided she wanted to pursue photography as a retirement hobby. She found NVPS and dragged her husband, Tim, along for moral support. Both Polly and Tim have been members ever since although Tim does not take photos! He is still lending lots of support though! Polly had taken snap shots for a long time, but she wanted to go beyond snap shots and learn more about photography. What better way to reach that goal than to join a camera club?
Although Polly considers herself an amateur photographer, she does sell her images on Shutterstock.com. She calls herself a “paid” hobbyist. Polly takes photos for the sheer enjoyment of it but one day while staring at the rows of photo albums on their bookshelves, she realized that taking photos to be stuffed in a photo album rarely to be looked at later, seemed like a waste. That’s when she became a Shutterstock photographer. At least some people might find some uses for her photos.
Polly’s has many favorite subjects such as lighthouses, cats, macro, landscapes, and flowers to name a few but her favorite subjects are lighthouses and cats. Perhaps she enjoys lighthouses because her father was a lighthouse keeper for a short while. She has dreams of trips who’s sole purpose is photographing lighthouses. Tim and Polly made one such trip in California and even spent the night at Montara Lighthouse. Cats became a favorite subject by accident when a little pregnant long haired black cat found her way to their cabin in the mountains of North Carolina one summer. One thing led to another and they became cat fosters for the SPCA here in Virginia. Cats have been in their lives ever since.
Polly started out with Nikon equipment in 2000, switched to Minolta equipment then switched back to Nikon, and recently treated herself to a Panasonic GH4. She finds the older she gets the heavier the equipment seems to be. Like a lot of retirees, she decided to “downsize”.
Polly’s photographic goals are what they have always been, to see the world through the lens and enjoy the view. Her show will present a collection of a few of her favorite subjects: barns, flowers, heart-shaped objects, infrared, landscapes, lighthouses, pets and wildlife.
