and has been having a blast with photography ever since.\u00a0 His interests are eclectic, in the sense that he hasn\u2019t the discipline to focus.\u00a0 And his compositions have been called whimsical, which he firmly believes is a compliment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bradshaw-Photo-Potpourri-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22069 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bradshaw-Photo-Potpourri-3-184x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"184\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bradshaw-Photo-Potpourri-3-184x300.jpg 184w, https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bradshaw-Photo-Potpourri-3.jpg 394w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px\" \/><\/a>This most fascinating of all hobbies has opened up the DC area for George.\u00a0 Despite being a near lifelong Fairfaxian, he has explored many more local venues in the past few years than in the past few decades.\u00a0\u00a0 And George\u2019s bucket list includes getting outside the area to visit his father\u2019s old haunts in NYC where he plied his freelancing.<\/p>\n<p>George joined the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) Photo Club in 2015 and became its webmaster.\u00a0 The OPC has given George many wonderful opportunities to learn about and have practical experience with the photographic arts.\u00a0 And as the OPC is affiliated with George Mason University, the experience has included photographing dress rehearsals for Mason\u2019s School of Theater \u2013 quite a technical and artistic challenge, as well as a fulfilling activity.\u00a0 In 2018 George joined the NVPS and is now the Society\u2019s eBlaster.\u00a0 He especially enjoys the NVPS Education &amp;
