SUMMARY:Member's Gallery (In Person) (Prints) - Some of My Favorite Prints with Philip Winters
DESCRIPTION:Bio\n\n\n\nPhilip Winters\n\n\n\nPhil began taking pictures as a kid with an old family camera. Through his teens and after high school\, he had a series of SLRs\, including one of his father’s older rangefinders. Fast forwarding\, Phil has had various digital cameras and now uses a Sony 6300 and 6600\, which he’s very happy with. He also keeps a Nikon point-and-shoot in his car\, just in case\, and of course has his phone ready for any photo emergencies. \n\n\n\nHe is very glad he joined NVPS many years ago—so long ago\, he says\, that it feels like forever\, but in a good way. Through the club\, he has learned a great deal\, including better composition\, enough Lightroom to feel almost comfortable\, and\, thanks to demonstrations at meetings\, how to mat his prints.    \n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\nPhil’s prints this evening show his wide range of photographic interests and techniques: reflections\, architecture\, machinery\, ICM\, panning.  He continues to hone his craft. \n\n\n\nAll photos taken by Philip Winters:

SUMMARY:Members’ Forum (In Person) - Blur with Gary Perlow
DESCRIPTION:Bio: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGary Perlow\, an ex-New Yorker\, has been living in the northern Virginia area for over 30 years.  He was a home builder who especially enjoyed designing kitchens and bathrooms.  He is presently actively involved in commercial real estate investment. \n\n\n\nHe began taking photographs seriously around 2013\, and has been a member of NVPS since 2018.  His favorite genres are conceptual\, landscape\, and portrait.  Always looking to grow as a photographer\, he enjoys learning\, studying\, and experimenting with new ways to express ideas visually. \n\n\n\nGary has won awards for his photography\, including a national best-in-show in monochrome in 2024 from the Photographic Society of America\, two best-in-shows from Nature Visions/MAPV in 2019 and 2022 (as well as in a variety of categories)\, and the NVPS’s Ollie Fife award in 2022. \n\n\n\nHe has been exhibiting photographs in galleries around the country and in Barcelona\, Spain. He currently is participating in a group show at the Carter Burden Gallery in Manhattan. \n\n\n\nBlur: \n\n\n\nBlur in photography is something we have always experienced many times – but it is not always a flaw: it can be a powerful tool for expressing emotion and creativity.  By intentionally incorporating blur\, photographers can enhance the storytelling aspect of their images and create mystery\, as well.
