<\/a>Polly Terriberry and her husband, Tim, have been\u00a0members\u00a0of NVPS since the year 2000. They have also been foster parents for cats and kittens for the SPCA of Northern Virginia. Part of being a foster parent is taking pictures of the animals for the SPCA’s adoption\u00a0website. If a picture speaks 1,000 words, then think of what it can do for a homeless animal. It sounds harsh but one is selling a product and that product will move much faster if it is displayed in a pleasing manner. Polly will be showing a few examples of how not to take pet portraits and will offer some suggestions on how to improve the quality of pet photos. She hopes to spark some interest in shelter photography among our many talented club\u00a0members. It can make a big difference in the life of an animal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prints with Andrew Fritz Andrew Fritz started shooting with an underwater film camera during the early 2000s while technical and cave diving.
