Fred Siskind –\u00a0Digital<\/h1>\n

Fred has been a member of NVPS since 1982, serving as Vice President for Programs and President, and leading field trips to Huntley Meadows and other local parks. \u00a0He took up photography in the early 1970s following a frustrating round the U.S. trip with only an Instamatic.\u00a0 He started with Pentax, moved to Olympus and since the late 70s has used Nikon equipment.\u00a0 He took a couple of photo courses in the early 70s at the Smithsonian and Corcoran and quickly realized he wasn\u2019t destined to be the next Ansel Adams. Leaving black and white film behind, he embraced slides and in 2004 moved to digital. He has given programs at many local camera clubs and several parks and schools.<\/p>\n

Fred retired in 2009 following a 38 year career at the Department of Labor as an economist focusing on safety and health issues. He<\/p>\n
