SUMMARY:End-of-Year Competition and Awards Banquet (Virtual) with Judge Nikhil Bahl
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our very last meeting of the 2021 – 2022 season\, NVPS End-of-Year Awards Night! We will have the full program of awards presented via Zoom this evening. In addition to the Zoom presentation\, we will be having a picnic at Burke Lake Park on Sunday June 12th. We hope that you can join us for the picnic\, but please be on the lookout for an eBlast with the full picnic details and how to RSVP for it. \nWe are pleased to have Nikhal Bahl as the judge for the end of year competition. He has the most difficult task of selecting the top images from all of the images that were awarded a 1st\, 2nd\, 3rd\, or Honorable Mention throughout the year within each competion class and category. That is going to be quite the challenge after seeing so many impressive winning images this club year. \nBIO \nNikhil Bahl is a full time professional photographer\, author\, educator\, workshop instructor and environmentalist residing in the Washington D.C. area.  Drawing continuous inspiration from nature\, Nikhil adopts novel approaches and seeks meaningful interpretations:  to create photographs that transcend the commonplace\, reflect deeper insights\, and convey an enchantment of the subject’s beauty. \nAn offshoot of Nikhil’s fine art photography and love of nature is his documentation of wildlife behaviors and habitats.  As a volunteer with the National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service\, his goal is to portray environmental stories with an artistic appeal\, so his photographs educate and motivate about the imperative of conservation. \nEach year Nikhil leads numerous photography tours and instructional workshops in the United States and abroad. His teaching encourages participants to advance beyond ordinary photos and develop their own style and vision. Nikhil is a popular speaker at photography clubs\, expos and industry events. He authored the acclaimed ebook\, Creative Interpretations and writes articles on the creative and technical aspects of photography. His work can be viewed at www.nikhilbahl.com. \nIn photography; we are only restricted by our own imagination.www.NikhilBahl.comhttps://www.facebook.com/nikhil.bahl.photographyhttps://www.instagram.com/bahlnikhil

SUMMARY:End-of-Year Competition and Awards Banquet with Judge Jean Pierre Plé
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our very last meeting of the 2020 – 2021 season\, NVPS End-of-Year Awards Night! Since we unfortunately cannot get together for an actual dinner and happy hour\, it will be held virtually (via Zoom). We will have the full program of awards\, just no food. Any eating and drinking will be on your own! \nThe official program will begin at 7:00 pm with an expected social time to begin at 6:30 pm. \nJean Pierre Plé has been chosen to judge winning images from the 2020-2021 NVPS competitions for the end-of-year competition. \nJean-Pierre is a fine art photographer who embraces the concept that photography gives us a chance to see ourselves\, to see our emotions\, and maybe to see something about ourselves that we have never seen before or we were not able to give voice to. He is drawn to making images where a strong visual and emotional message is formed by shapes\, lines\, or contrast in color or tones. \nHis photographs have transitioned from an original interest in nature\, landscapes\, abstracts and architecture\, to a current focus on a contemplative approach to photography\, which often depicts his subjects in a non-representational manner. Sensing a deep desire for photographers to experience greater meaning in their work\, he developed a workshop exploring a contemplative and mindful approach to photography. While he employs DSLR\, mirrorless and iPhone cameras\, he is also a recovering large format film artist and misses the slow\, methodical\, and mechanical components of large format. \nHe is a member of the North Bethesda Camera Club. His work has been part of numerous exhibitions in the Washington\, DC area\, including Washington Printmakers Gallery\, Waverly Street Gallery\, Photoworks Gallery\, Nature Visions\, Herndon ArtSpace\, the Joe Miller Gallery\, PhotoWalk in Crystal City\, Touchstone Gallery\, Lowe House Building\, and the Dupont Underground. His professional career is in the field of international ocean affairs and he works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
