SUMMARY:Programs: "Portraits" with Catherine Simmons
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Description\nCatherine is going to be sharing on the topic of Family and Child Photography. This is a broad topic ranging from formal family portraits to candid snapshots for the family album. Catherine will present information and ideas on how to capture images that embody both sentiment and artistry. You’ll learn how to improve your technical and artistic approach to photographing children of all ages. Catherine will break down the differences among portraiture\, lifestyle\, and snapshots and how to approach each one strategically and with intent. \nPerhaps you are a grandparent wanting to photograph your adorable\, but very busy toddler grandchild\, or you’re a parent trying to take your high school senior’s pictures for a graduation party invite. Maybe you are an aunt or uncle trying to document a family vacation at the beach\, or perhaps you are a retired hobbyist who is always being asked to take pictures at special family events and social gatherings. No matter what your specific need may be\, you are sure to walk away with a new level of understanding when it comes to photographing children and families in any context. \nBio\nCatherine is both a seasoned mom and photographer. She began her journey into photography after the birth of her sixth child in 2009. Her children’s ages range from 21 down to 9 years old. As a busy mom\, photography became a way for her to engage with her children\, enjoy her creative appetite for making art\, and document the fleeting years as they passed so quickly. After taking several photography classes at her local community college\, she realized that her hobby was quickly turning into an obsession. She spent the next five years photographing families and their children as a small business on the side. \nAfter moving to Vienna\, Austria in January of 2017\, Catherine decided to begin earning her Master’s in Fine Arts in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design through their e-learning program. While living in Vienna\, Catherine tasted the world of travel photography throughout Europe as well as taught workshops for the United Nations Photography Club.  She earned the first place in the 2017 UNPC Annual Photo Competition as well as in several monthly competitions. \nUpon returning to the States\, Catherine transitioned into the studio where she now is both a Fine Art and Commercial portrait photographer. Additionally\, Catherine teaches workshops on Beginning Portraiture\, Family and Child Photography\, and Editing Portraiture in Photoshop for Capital Photography Center. While her expertise is in the studio\, she continues to shoot families as well as educate others on the wonderful and most joyful experience of photographing children and their families. \n      \n

SUMMARY:Field-Trip: Truck Graveyard
DESCRIPTION:The “Truck Graveyard” is the destination for our March 23rd Field Trip. The Graveyard is situated on the property of the PL Duncan Company located at 2 Duncan Store Road in Columbia Virginia. Travel time from the Beltway is approximately 2 3⁄4 hours primarily on Routes 66\, 29 and 15 South. About 60 vintage (mid 20th century) vehicles in various states of decay are scattered among the several acres of wooded area\, open fields and under the roof of some quite dilapidated storage buildings. As morning light is preferable we should plan to start our shoot at 9:00 AM. As Columbia\, VA is quite a schlep from N. VA\, we encourage your early sign up to facilitate forming carpools. \nOne further note: there are no facilities within 20-minutes of the truck graveyard. Plan to make a pit-stop somewhere along the way.\nCheck out images previously taken at the Graveyard: https://nvps.smugmug.com/NVPSGallery/Field-Trips/2013-2014-Field-Trips/Truck-Graveyard/

SUMMARY:Member's Gallery: "Prints" with Clark & Joan Barker; "Digital" with Judy McGuire
DESCRIPTION:NEAR AND FAR (Clark and Joan Barker) \nClark Barker \nClark’s photographic experience has mostly been as a tourist taking snapshots of interesting places visited and photos of his son and daughter when they were children.  After retirement as a staff analyst from the Navy Comptroller Clark and wife Joan have taken several overseas trips with organized tour groups. The use of tripods was not an option and the lighting was “as is” during bus stops and city tours. A fair number of photos were taken through a bus window. \nClark’s first “real” camera was a used 35mm fixed lens Voigtlander followed by a Minolta SRT101 when he became gainfully employed after college.  After a couple more Minoltas\, mostly using slide film\, he entered the digital age with an 8 megapixel Olympus\, followed by several Canon cameras.  He currently uses a Canon 5Dmk3 with Canon lenses. Most of the pre-digital photos became 35mm slides. \nClark used Photoshop Elements to process and print digital images for many years\, upgrading to Lightroom/Photoshop CC after joining NVPS four years ago.  He attributes improvements in technical skills and composition to NVPS and was the class two color print Photographer of the Year for 2016-2017. He cuts his own mats and does his own printing\, currently with an Epson P800 printer and his favorite paper is Ilford Gold Fibre Silk.  \nHe enjoys taking travel photos\, especially landscapes\, but has begun exploring other types of photography such as wildlife and macro since joining NVPS. \nJoan Barker \nAlthough Joan has always enjoyed photographing family and places they visited\, she was not sure that she would enjoy being a part of a photography club.  Joan was using a point and shoot camera at the time and knew nothing about F stop\, Shutter Speed\, or ISO.  Needless to say Joan has learned a lot in the past 4 years.  She now shoots with a mirrorless Panasonic Luminx Micro 4/3 camera and finally understands how to get off auto.  \nShe enjoys shooting landscapes\, flowers\, and abstracts.  Joan has surprised herself with the success she has had in the monthly competitions from the very beginning.  She loves doing post processing on the computer as it encourages her creative juices.  \nBeing retired gives her more time to pursue many interests and Joan is  pleased to add that photography is now one of them.  Joan was an educator and taught elementary school before her children were born. After kids\, she chose part time teaching and eventually administration in Early Childhood.  \nClark and Joan have two children\, a girl and boy\, and 3 grandkids.  They are favorite subjects to shoot for both of them.  In the future she would like to continue to improve her technical skills while keeping the creative side as a big part of what she does.  Joan is interested in becoming more proficient in monochrome photography. She appreciates all the help she receives from Clark and her two Mentors\, Willa and Willa.  Joan has learned a lot from these ladies reinforcing what Clark tries to teach her at home.   \nYes\, Joan is glad she joined as she enjoys the people and the programs but especially the competitions.  So much thanks to Bill Vanderpool and Nancy Dubiell for their encouragement to join NVSP. \n   \n\nTitle: Highlighting Varied Subjects \nDescription: Judy’s show will feature photos of varied subjects taken in the last couple years.  A number of locations will be highlighted\, many of them just a day trip away. \nBio: Judy McGuire became interested in photography and travel when she was 10 and took her first road trip to the western states with her family and her Kodak Brownie camera. She took snapshots documenting family\, friends\, pets and travels for many years before getting a Nikon SLR for slide photography\, and currently shoots with a Nikon D7200. \nSince she joined NVPS in 2001\, the club’s activities and members have been a constant inspiration for learning and improving her photography. Judy believes regular practice is critical to developing skills – as she tried to impress on young students during her many years of teaching piano. But in photography – as well in music – another part of the experience is enjoying the results! \nJudy is most interested in travel and nature photography and loves to photograph anywhere\, searching out back roads as well as obvious sites. She enjoys giving slide shows for various groups\, and makes calendars and note cards using her photographs. Her work has been juried into Nature Visions and the Joseph Miller Abstract Exhibits\, and published in Virginia Wildlife Magazine. She has won a number of awards in NVPS competitions\, including Slide of the Year\, Advanced Digital Image of the Year and Advanced Digital Photographer of the year three times.

SUMMARY:Member's Forum: "Papua New Guinea" with Kathryn Mohrman
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Mohrman will be the speaker for our March Member’s Forum She will talk about a recent trip to Papua New Guinea.  \nAfter more than 40 years as a teacher\, administrator\, and college president\, she has turned to photography as her main focus in retirement. Her love of travel allows her to explore cultures across five continents and to share observations with the viewers of her images.  Since most people will not have an opportunity to travel to Bhutan or Kenya or Papua New Guinea\, Kathryn considers her photographs as an extension of her career in teaching.  She hope that these images convey a sense of our shared humanity as well as a celebration of the many different ways in which people around the world create art\, worship their gods\, and live their daily lives. \nCheck out some of Kathryn’s images from Papua New Guinea. \n    \n
