SUMMARY:Programs: (Zoom) Ink & Silver: Photography and the Printed Book with Stephen Greenberg
DESCRIPTION:Until the advent of the omnipresent little screens in everyone’s pocket\, the way most viewers experienced photography was through books\, magazines\, posters\, and other ink–based technologies. This presentation examines how that happened (although it was neither quick nor simple)\, and offers thoughts and how the consumption of images will continue to change how we make our photographs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephen Greenberg\, MSLS\, PhD is an historian\, rare book librarian\, teacher\, writer\, and photographer originally from New York City\, but for many years he was based in suburban Maryland. He recently retired after nearly thirty years with the History of Medicine Division of the National Library of Medicine at NIH\, and continues to teach book history–related courses at the University of Maryland at College Park

SUMMARY:Competition - Digital and Print (In-Person) No Theme with Judge Brian Zwit
DESCRIPTION:The final review for group two of the Portfolio Project will be held with Brian Zwit as our reviewer. Brian\, formerly just a photographer and educator in northern Virginia\, added filmmaker to his resume during the pandemic years. While still enthralled with still photography\, he is using video to expand his storytelling options and range of subjects. When shooting stills\, his favorite subject is the elegance and majesty of nature\, particularly landscapes. When filmmaking his favorite subject is the human condition—telling the unique and unusual stories of the everyday person. In addition to his favorite genres\, he dabbles with photographing and filming protests\, dogs\, travel adventures\, and street life.Brian has been teaching photography for more than ten years for workshop companies and non–profits including the Ward Museum\, Chincoteague Bay Field Station\, and camera clubs in the mid–Atlantic. He is an exceptional Lightroom instructor\, and he has had more than 1\,000 students attend hisLightroom training. Brian also speaks to camera clubs\, schools\, and other organizations on creativity and other photographic techniques. He is well known for his ability to distill complex topics to their essence and explain them in simple\, easy-to-understand ways. \n\n\n\nBrian’s favorite assistant is Dingo\, a Parson Russell Terrier\, who really is not very helpful\, but is always ready for a walk in the woods. She also reminds him not to get too obsessed with work\, photography\, and filmmaking andjust enjoy life. Brian’s website is Brian Zwit

SUMMARY:Field Trip:  Monuments at Night
DESCRIPTION:NVPS May 2025 Field Trip \n\n\n\nVisiting the nation’s monuments at night is the best time of the day to experience them. Our May field trip will return to this favorite where we’ll have the opportunity to photograph the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool at sunset. We’ll also photograph the World War II Memorial and Washington Monument at the blue hour and tour the other monuments as time permits including the Vietnam War Memorial\, Korean War Memorial\, and more. This is a wonderful field trip for all levels\, especially beginners as most shots are done using manual controls. However\, there is far too much to see in one night so be prepared to return on your own. \n\n\n\nTripods are allowed in most outdoor areas\, however\, if a park ranger asks you to move or pick up your tripod\, it will be because you’re set up in a high traffic area. Tripods are not allowed anywhere inside of or on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or Jefferson Memorial. \n\n\n\nSunset is at 8:15 p.m. \n\n\n\nEquipment: \n\n\n\n\nLenses in the range 24-200 will be most useful.\n\n\n\nGraduated filters are a great tool for capturing sunsets.\n\n\n\nA sturdy tripod along with remote shutter / cable release will be useful to keep the camera steady for long exposures.\n\n\n\nFlash and or flashlight is optional.\n\n\n\nWear your best walking shoes.\n\n\n\n\nWhen: \n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 17\, 2025 from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p. m \n\n\n\nRain date on Sunday\, May 18\, 2025 from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nWhere: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll meet next to 17 St. SW at the World War II Memorial. We’ll chat\, assess the weather\, and coordinate the evening’s schedule based on participant interests. If the weather cooperates\, we’ll photograph the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool set in front of a wonderful sunset. During the blue hour\, we’ll photograph the World War II Memorial itself and the Washington Monument. Then we’ll walk toward the Lincoln Memorial and stop at any memorials along the way. We’ll finish our field trip at the Lincoln Memorial which will provide us views of the Washington Monument and Capitol Hill as well as the Arlington Memorial Bridge and the Rosslyn skyline. Members not interested in the sunset photo-op or extensive walking will be able to meet up with the group at the Lincoln Memorial after 9pm. \n\n\n\nMetered parking is normally in effect from 7am-8pm on Ohio Dr. SW. The cost is $2.30 per hour with a three hour maximum ($6.90 total). However\, reports indicate construction in the area and street parking on 22nd Street NW (next to Einstein statue) might be a better alternative. The parking lots A\, B\, and C along Ohio Dr just past the 14 St. overpass are also an option.  \n\n\n\nThose who wish to ride the metro will be able to use blue and orange lines servicing Foggy Bottom and Smithsonian stations which are the nearest stops on our field trip. Note that the blue line’s Arlington National Cemetery station may be a good alternate but it closes at 10pm. \n\n\n\nWe hope you can join us! \n\n\n\nRena Schild and Steven Glintz \n\n\n\nField Trip Coordinators 2024-2025 \n\n\n\n* Photographs of the monuments courtesy Steven Glintz.  Additional examples and inspiration available on NVPS galleries: \n\n\n\nhttps://nvps.smugmug.com/NVPSGallery/Field-Trips/2021-2022-Field-Trips/Monuments-At-Night-April-2022 \n\n\n\nhttps://nvps.smugmug.com/NVPSGallery/Field-Trips/2020-2021-Field-Trips/DC-Monuments-Sep-2020/ \n\n\n\nhttps://nvps.smugmug.com/NVPSGallery/Field-Trips/2014-2015-Field-Trips/DC-at-Night/

SUMMARY:Members' Gallery (In Person) (Print) - "Bring Your Printed Material" Day for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:January 2025 Calendar by Eva Lanyi\n\n\n\nDescription:\n\n\n\nBecause it was so popular last year\, Members’ Gallery would again like to invite everyone to share their printed photo art\, images\, and projects on May 27\, the last Tuesday meeting of the 2024-2025 year.  Each NVPS member is encouraged to bring up to four prints or photo projects created in any manner of their choosing.  Books\, calendars\, greeting cards\, framed images\, matted images; unframed or unmatted images; images printed on (but not limited to) alternative media such as wood\, metal\, canvas\, and acrylic are just a few of the possibilities.  Why not coffee mugs or fabric? \n\n\n\nThe evening will give NVPS members a chance to share their creativity and ideas for showcasing their images outside the computer. \n\n\n\nThe club will provide wooden stands for matted or framed prints\, and any other media that require them.  Questions?  Please email Members’ Gallery Co-Chair Eva Lanyi at nvps-members-gallery@googlegroups.com.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Examples of Printed Material:\n\n\n\nBook covers from Tana Ebbole’s October 2024 print presentation on handmade books :

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery: (In-Person) - Safari with David Kravitz
DESCRIPTION:During his high school years\, David Kravitz had his own dark room and enjoyed exploring black and white film photography. Then life intervened. After college\, graduate school\, and a 40-year academic career\, he has returned to photography\, as he always intended\, though he has left film for digital. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAlthough David’s interests are wide-ranging\, his primary love is nature photography\, especially when combined with travel. This presentation is drawn from the ~25\,000 photos he took when on two back-to-back safaris with Pangolin Photo Safaris in May and June of 2024\, primarily in Botswana

SUMMARY:Members Forum (In Person) - On the Road Again with Greg and Gitta Smith
DESCRIPTION:Description:\n\n\n\nIn the Fall of 2019 Greg and Gitta Smith purchased a travel trailer just before COVID. Fortunately\, many State Parks recognized that RVs were self contained and did not need to use the bathhouse amenities and were open during Covid. This enabled them to discover many wonderful state parks in Virginia\, West Virginia\, and; and the surrounding beauty they inhabit. Some of these parks gave them wonderful photography opportunities. In 2021 they ventured on their first cross -country trip to Colorado where their son\, daughter-in-law and granddaughter live.  It was an amazing experience seeing parts of our beautiful country that one cannot experience when traveling by air. They have since visited National Parks such as Rocky Mountain National Park\, Grand Tetons National Park\, Yellowstone National Park\, and Acadia National Park along with a few National Monuments\, and many state parks. They have enjoyed photographing landscapes\, flora\, birds\, and other points of interest. Their purpose in this presentation is to give you a glimpse of our beautiful country and locations along the way. \n\n\n\nGitta and Greg Smith\n\n\n\nBio:\n\n\n\nGreg and Gitta Smith have been members of NVPS since 2020. They both have an eclectic interest in what they photograph.  Gitta prefers landscape\, macro\, and wildlife. Greg leans towards street\, architecture\, and landscape.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Images by Greg and Gitta Smith:
