CCAA member, Gary Altoonian, will host a free gathering on the second Saturday of each month from March through November for like-minded people interested in photography. Photographers of all levels are encouraged to bring print and/or digital work to share and discuss. In the past, the host and facilitator had no agenda which resulted in no pressure, just a gathering of individuals interested in the art of photography.

Hello Photography Enthusiasts:
Last Saturday, there were six (6) who attended and shared their photographs of people (posed and candid captures) and shadows. There were many excellent examples in print and digital of current captures and those from many years ago that provided some great inspiration. Thanks to all who shared their work.
Our next meeting will be on May 10th. PLEASE NOTE THAT HENCEFORTH, WE WILL BE CHANGING OUR MEETING TIME TO NOON TO 2PM. Our themes for May's meeting will be: - Night Photography - Buildings, landscapes, stars, etc.
- Environmental Portraits - Candid or posed people at work or hobby.
- Lighting - I will bring my Godox V1 flash and softbox, which I use as part of my portable studio lighting setup.
To accommodate those who do not have access to a printer and wish to share their digital images, I will bring a laptop with me. If you will be sharing digital images, please place them on a thumb drive so I can plug it into my computer.
For future planning, here are the themes for our upcoming meetings: - June 14
- City - Day or night, cityscape, streets, highways, etc.
- Contrast - Color, light or anything that comes to your mind.
- September 13
- Silhouette - People, animals, buildings, sculptures, etc.
- Nature - Animals, wildlife, insects, etc.
- October 11
- Antiques - Anything that has been around for a really long time, artifacts, furniture, cars, paintings, etc.
- Series - Any number of photos of a subject that have a related theme. For example, Boathouse Row at Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, 4th of July, etc.
- November 8
- HDR - Bracketed photographs that are merged into a single photograph
- Looking Up - Looking up from below an interesting structure such as the Eiffel Tower, a bridge, an atrium inside of a building, trees in a forest, etc.
If you are unable to share something that is part of a month's theme, that's okay, bring some examples of your work. Having you there is more important.
We will NOT be meeting in July, August or December.
See you on May 10th .
Please, stay well and be safe. Thank you.
