SUMMARY:Beanetics Exhibit:  The Colors of Death Valley by Anita Feidler
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement \n\n\n\nSunrise at Zabriskie Point\, Death Valley NP\, CA\n\n\n\n“As I drove down Highway 190 in the middle of a December day\, I saw a parched\, washed-out landscape. I began to wonder why I chose to visit this desolate place where landmarks are named to evoke hell or the devil.  \n\n\n\nBut at the crack of dawn and as the sun set\, I observed the beauty of Death Valley. I witnessed the play of golden light and blue shadows on wind-sculpted sand dunes. I followed the quickly moving alpenglow as it cast shades of rose\, violet\, and orange across badlands and rugged mountains. And I observed the patterns and jagged formations that reflected the many colors of sunrise and sunset in salt springs and vast salt flats. \n\n\n\nBy the end of my trip\, I found Death Valley to be a place of unique beauty and diverse\, colorful landscapes.” \n\n\n\n– Anita Feidler \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nBeanetics Coffee Roasters – 7028 Columbia Pike\, Annandale\, VA 22003

SUMMARY:Programs: (Zoom) - The Power of Personal Projects with Daniel Gregory
DESCRIPTION:Program Description: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat happens when you stop chasing individual photographs and start creating a body of work? Personal projects are one of the most powerful ways to improve your craft\, develop your photographic voice and vision\, expand your creativity\, and create images with lasting meaning. Whether your working with simple projects or something more ambitious be it short-term or years in the making\, we’ll be talking about how to find ideas worth pursuing\, organize and structure your work\, sustain momentum\, and how to embrace projects that evolve over time. We will be looking at examples\, talking practical strategies\, and recalling lessons learned from years of project-based photography. In our conversation\, you’ll gain some tools and techniques for turning simple curiosities into a cohesive body of work. Whether you’re beginning your first personal project or refining an existing one\, you’ll leave with fresh inspiration and practical ideas for creating work that are uniquely your own \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Gregory is a photographer\, educator\, and podcast host whose work explores the connections between people\, place\, memory\, and time. Through both his photography and teaching\, he encourages people to become more present\, attentive\, and aware of how we are connected to the land and each other. \n\n\n\nDaniel serves as a core faculty member at Photographic Center Northwest (accredited art school)\, and with organizations including CreativeLive\, KelbyOne\, and the Virtual Summit series. He is a sought-after speaker and educator\, presenting at conferences and workshops across the country. He is also Adobe-certified in both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. \n\n\n\nHe also teaches from his studio on Whidbey Island\, Washington. Whether leading courses like Meaningful Images and Inspiration and Influence\, hosting travel workshops\, or teaching his Master Printing course\, his focus is always the same: helping photographers find their unique voice and vision and embrace their creative vision. He is the host of The Perceptive Photographer podcast\, now in its eleventh year (approaching 600 episodes)\, where he explores both the craft of photography and the life of being a photographer. \n\n\n\nDaniel is currently represented by the SAM Gallery in Seattle\, Washington and his work is held in numerous collections.

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery: (In-Person - Print)  Hawaii with Jim Sinsheimer
DESCRIPTION:As an architect and design/construction manager for the past 45 years\, photography has always been an integral part of Jim’s career\, starting with a small darkroom in the College of Architecture during the early 70’s. Subsequently\, he progressed from a tiny darkroom over a clothes dryer to a fully equipped facility for work; from a 4×5 view camera and finally into the digital age. Jim’s work has been published in several issues of Black and White Magazine and LensWork\, and shown in hanging exhibits in California and Chicago.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter moving from southern California to Virginia to be closer to family\, he joined NVPS in 2019 and has enjoyed its comaraderie and friendships. Travel photography has also been and remains a favorite part of the trips he has taken over the years\, of which his five trips to the Hawaiian Islands were most memorable. He spent much of his time there hiking ocean side trails\, exploring the jungle-like forests\, viewing the islands from helicopters\, throwing snowballs at top of Mauna Kea\, and rising at 4:30 am to see a volcano at sunrise. The photographs he is showing depict the great photographic opportunities the islands offer.

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery: (In Person - Digital) - What Do I See with Wayne Guenther
DESCRIPTION:Since joining NVPS in 2015\, Wayne’s multiple presentations of his work has included images in about every genre\, but he remains a fine art photographer at heart.  His images often highlight his interest in patterns\, lines\, and geometric content like curves\, circles\, and triangles.  But there’s more to Wayne’ssubject interests\, which he’ll show in this presentation. It is a collection of work he particularly likes from the past five years\, mixed together on purpose and including a few images he may have shown in digital competitions or on his Facebook feed.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWayne began his photography avocation in the late 1960s and became increasingly involved with Fine Art Photography in the mid-1990s. Membership in two local art galleries and The Art League of Alexandria presented many opportunities to create new work for his pleasure and competitions. Joining NVPS in 2015 added both camaraderie and more opportunities for presenting new work.  He has been fortunate to travel widely with his wife Judy\, which is a trigger to follow his basic photography rule; “Be There; Shoot.” \n\n\n\nWayne has been accepted in many regional juried art competitions/shows over the past 30 years\, including MAPV 2021-2024\, and placed in many NVPS monthly competitions.   He uses two OM System bodies and two Olympus lenses (24-40mm f2.8 and 40-150mm f4) and\, increasingly\, the iPhone camera.

SUMMARY:Competition: (Zoom) Theme: Industrial with Judge Russ Young
DESCRIPTION:I began photography as the high school yearbook photographer using a 4×5 Speed Graphic; the very definition of immersion. My senior year\, I worked after school as the darkroom monkey for a commercial & industrial photographer. These experiences still shape my imagery as I still shoot film and large format. I taught for The University of Texas at Austin and Ohio Wesleyan University. My specialties are the history of Pictorialism and 19th century printing methods. \n\n\n\nSaint Andrews University (Scotland) granted me a Ph.D. in art history for my dissertation on soft focus lenses and Pictorialism. file:///C:/Users/russ/Downloads/WRussellYoungPhDThesis.pdf (warning: reading it has been known to induce narcolepsy).  \n\n\n\nThe Royal Photographic Society denominated me as a Fellow about 20 years ago. \n\n\n\nLiving for 18 years on an isolated farm near The Blue Ridge\, landscapes have been the primary subject of my cameras. Although I capture the landscape with both film and digital\, the vast majority of my images are black & white. Impossible to avoid\, I use PhotoShop and its ilk minimally. My photographs have been viewed in both one-person exhibitions and group shows.

SUMMARY:Competition: (Zoom) No Theme with Judge Brian Zwit
DESCRIPTION:Brian Zwit\, formerly just a photographer and educator in northern Virginia\, added filmmaker to his resume during the pandemic years.  \n\n\n\nWhile 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. \n\n\n\nBrian has been teaching photography 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 his Lightroom 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 and just enjoy life. Brian’s website is Images by Brian J Zwit.  \n\n\n\nBrian has been a speaker for NVPS and a frequent reviewer for the Portfolio Project’s final reviews.
