SUMMARY:Program - (Zoom): Photographing in a Foreign CountryProgram with Frank Van Riper

Among other things\, Frank will discuss how he gets people to let him photograph their daily lives and activities\, the best times to shoot on the street\, why the most popular tourist attractions often are the worst venues for great photography—and  how to loosen someone up even when you don’t speak the language. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrank Van Riper is an award-winning documentary and fine art photographer\, journalist\, author and lecturer whose work has been published internationally.  \n\n\n\nHis photographs are in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery (Washington\, DC) as well as in the Portland Museum of Art (Portland\, Maine.) His 1998 book of photography and essays\, Down East Maine/A World Apart\, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and won the silver award for photography from the Art Director’s Club of Metropolitan Washington.  \n\n\n\nHis latest book is Recovered Memory: New York & Paris 1960-1980\, which immediately became an Amazon bestseller. His previous book\, done in collaboration with his wife and professional partner Judith Goodman\, was Serenissima: Venice in Winter\, a coffee table collection of black and white photographs and essays\, published in 2008 both in the US and Italy.  Their next collaboration—and their first book in color–is The Green Heart of Italy: Umbria and its Ancient Neighbors. (Fall\, 2025) \n\n\n\nVan Riper was a member of the New York Daily News Washington Bureau for 20 years\, serving as White House correspondent\, national political correspondent and Washington Bureau news editor.

SUMMARY:Education & Training:  (In-Person) Long Exposure Photography with Kimxuan Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:Description:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to Wikipedia:  Long-exposure\, time-exposure\, or slow-shutter photography involves using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring\, smearing\, or obscuring the moving elements. Kimxuan will also go over the technique on how to capture fireworks in a creative way by using the Long Exposure method. \n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKimxuan studied photography in college when the photography world was still using film and darkroom to process photos. Fast forward\, Kimxuan joined NVPS in 2019. She had received several Monthly Competition and Year End awards. Some of the awards were Advanced Color Print of the Year\, Advanced Color Digital Image of the Years (2021 and 2022)\, Advanced Monochrome Digital Image of the Year\, Photographer of the Year – Color Digital Advanced\, Photographer of the Year – Versatile Advanced\, and Ollie Fite Awards (2021 and 2024). \n\n\n\nCurrently\, Kimxuan is the Lead Instructor for Advanced Level class and an Assistant to the President of the Vietnamese Photography Society (VNPS). She wrote and contributed photography lessons as well as lessons on portfolio projects. She also served as part of the judging panels for VNPS. In addition\, Kimxuan has received the Portfolio Project of the Year and Honorable Excellent Service from the society.  \n\n\n\nKimxuan likes to travel within the United States as well as the world to capture mostly landscaping and wildlife.

SUMMARY:Field Trip:  Great Falls MD (South End)
DESCRIPTION:Great Falls is a DMV treasure and a favorite place for landscape photography. In November we will photograph the Potomac River and C&O Canal on the southeast end of the Maryland side of Great Falls.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will park in the (free) parking lots across from The Old Angler’s Inn and head over the Angler’s Footbridge and down to the shore of the Potomac River\, which at that point provides a beautiful wide view of the river and the shores beyond it. We will then walk northwest along the C&O Canal and take advantage of the landscape and wildlife photo ops that the canal provides.  We will make our way back toward the parking lot on the same path. For those who would like to get something to eat afterwards\, we will meet at Market on the Boulevard\, a deli 3.6 miles down the road from the parking lot.  \n\n\n\nWhen: \n\n\n\nSaturday November 16 from 8 -11 a.m. (post-trip gathering at 11:15 a.m.) \n\n\n\nRain date: Sunday\, November 17 from 8-11 a.m. \n\n\n\nWhere: \n\n\n\nGreat Falls National Park \n\n\n\nStart at parking lot across from Old Angler’s Inn (10801 Macarthur Blvd\, Potomac\, MD) \n\n\n\nEquipment and Notes: \n\n\n\nA walkaround or landscape lens will work well. A wide angle lens (camera or phone) would be nice for river and footbridge shots. If you would also like to photograph birds on the canal\, you can bring a longer lens\, although the birds will be relatively close.     \n\n\n\nParking is free and there is no admission fee at this end of the park. There is an upper and lower parking lot across from Old Angler’s Inn\, and restrooms at the lower lot. We will meet by the restrooms.  \n\n\n\nThe walk down to canal and river is moderately steep and the paths are not paved\, so hiking footwear is recommended. \n\n\n\nWe hope you can join us!Rena Schild and Steven GlintzField Trip Coordinators 2024-2025 \n\n\n\nPhotographs courtesy of Rena Schild

SUMMARY:Member’s Forum: (In-Person) - Yellowstone 98 with Wayne Wolfersberger
DESCRIPTION:98% percent of the visitors to Yellowstone never see 98% of the park! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe average visitors spend two days visiting Yellowstone\, with all their time on roads connecting them to the big-name features such as Old Faithful\, Yellowstone Falls\, Mammoth Hot Springs and some other geyser basin features. They seldom stop to even view some other features along the way in their rush to get to the next “big thing”. They “hike the board walks around some of the geyser basins but little else in their rush to “see it all”. There is so much more to see and do in the worlds first national park that is 2.2 million acres of treasures. I will share some the “undiscovered gems” that are simply over looked. This will be from my perspective as a Yellowstone Ranger and as a photographer\, including boating\, hiking\, and even a little camping or sleeping on your boat docked at the public marina at the largest natural freshwater lake in the country. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWayne is an ecologist-naturalist\, educator\, and photographer with a master’s degree in education. Over his career\, he worked for the Fish and Wildlife Service\, the National Park Service\, and the Navy Photographic Center. He has spent 45 years in science education in public schools and universities. He has taught a variety of photography classes\, led photography tours\, and has presented educational nature photography programs in the Mid-Atlantic region\, the UK\, and Australia. He has received multiple awards from Natures Best\, NANPA\, and several other photography organizations. His photos have been published in a variety of media and appeared in fine art exhibits as well as stock around the globe. \n\n\n\nwww.waynewolfersberger.com

SUMMARY:Member's Gallery (In-Person): The Illinois Forest Preserves with Jim Sinsheimer
DESCRIPTION:During the post-World War II era of the late 20th century\, the northern suburbs of Chicago saw dramatic development of residential and commercial construction. To preserve portions of the natural forest which originally covered the land\, the Illinois Forest Preserves were created by the various counties in the area.  As I grew up there\, the forest preserves always impressed me with their state of natural\, undeveloped character. Through the seasons\, the forest areas changed their colors in the fall\, were covered in winter snow\, were inundated with spring rain and provided a lush canopy of green in the summer months. When my parents moved to a retirement community near the Des Plaines River in 2008\, I began to photograph this portion of the preserves during my periodic visits. Over ten years\, I captured images of the preserves and the river in all states of weather and seasons.     \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy introduction to photography was at around 7 years old when my dad converted a coal bin (we now had gas heat) to his darkroom.  However\, my interest really took off in college.  I’ve been a member of NVPS since 2018 having moved to Virginia from Southern California to be with our grandson and his family.  My past work has been published in Black and White Magazine\, LensWork and LensWork’s “Seeing in Sixes”. I’ve been a Canon shooter forever – I still have my FTB\, TL and F1 cameras as “museum” pieces.
