John Sanders Memorial Fall Picnic at Strahl Lake
John Sanders Memorial
Fall Picnic
Photo by Don Waters
Join us for the Annual John Sanders Memorial Fall Picnic
Pack your camera and head out to the rolling hills of Brown County during the peak of vibrant fall colors.
On Sunday, October 19th we have the Strahl Lake Shelter House in Brown County State Park reserved for the day. Show up early morning or arrive late. Lunch is scheduled for 1:00 pm.
Bring your own plates, drinks and utensils. Bring your lunch, better yet, pack a covered food dish to share with others. It’s a good old fashioned pot luck event. The club will provide items for making S’mores. Fun!
This is an opportunity to bring your dog for a walk, other friends or family members and meet and chat with some of your fellow club members. Amazing photographic opportunities await you in Brown County that day. See you there.
You can enter by either of the two entrances to Brown County State Park and there will be signs for Strahl Lake. Unless you have a season pass, entry fee per car (with Indiana license plate) is $7.00.

BPC Monthly Club Meeting
Guest Speaker: Dave Askins, editor of B Square Bulletin. Topic: Sense of place in local journalism: From backyard teeter totters to the city hall dais.
More than half a decade ago, Dave Askins started The B Square Bulletin to report local government news in Bloomington. But his goal is now to transform The B Square into Bloomington’s full-fledged hometown paper, even if it’s published only online. He thinks his own B Square photos have somewhat dubious technical merit. But Askins believes the images provide a sense of place and proof of presence, reminding readers that the reporting is based on an eye-witness account, not somebody else’s recap.
We are planning to conduct our monthly Bloomington Photography Club Meeting as a hybrid meeting. We will be meeting at 7:00 pm in person at the Monroe County Public Library.

Photoshare: Please send your images to Juliet (jstarkfrey@comcast.net) by noon on the day of the meeting. No set limit on the number of images--just common sense.

Images should be jpegs, 1400 pixels on the long side; the ppi doesn't matter. Number them in the order you would like them shown.
