\u201cMy interest in photography is not to capture an image I see or even have in my mind, but to explore the potential of moments I can only begin to imagine.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lois Greenfield<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to our 2024\u20132025 Club year!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is NVPS’ 60th\u00a0club year since its inception in 1965. We have wonderful programs, learning, and opportunities planned for us this year by our board and dedicated volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continually strive to create a community where photographers can learn, explore, and develop their creative vision. As we launch into our new club year, what is it you can imagine for yourself? What is it you would like to learn for your photography?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you would like to be part of Portfolio Project or collaborate with a mentor? Would you like to learn more about a technique or how to better utilize your camera? Would you like to explore editing software and utilize it to elevate and enhance your photos? These are all part of our offerings this club year, along with so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will again have our Programs and six of our monthly Competitions online via Zoom. This allows us to learn from photographers across the country with Programs and hear feedback from other photographers who serve as judges. We will have our Education and Training, Member\u2019s Gallery and Member\u2019s Forum, and three in\u2013person competitions with prints, at the Dunn Loring Fire Hall. We strongly encourage you to come to our in\u2013person meetings, as you are able, to interact directly with your photographic community. Each in\u2013person meeting will offer you the opportunity to review images with club volunteers and ask questions you might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, before our in\u2013person meetings, you are invited to join the NVPS Dinner and a Meeting, an opportunity to have a meal together with other members, presenters, and judges. We will send out an email with restaurant locations and times prior to each in\u2013person meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our incredible team of volunteers and board members, who are making this all happen for us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a part of NVPS provides you these opportunities and more, to realize all that you can imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the year, if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to volunteer to support the club, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the board at <\/a>Board Contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
