BPC Monthly Club Meeting

  • Monroe County Public Library, Room 1B (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Program: All the BPC Focus Groups will present their best photographic images of 2024.

This meeting is probably everyone’s most favorite meeting of the year. Each focus group leader will create a slide show or movie of photos that their focus group members have selected from their archives. This is a great opportunity for members to share their photos with everyone in the club.

If you are a focus group leader, please follow the guidelines below:

  • Limit your presentation to no more than 6 photos from each member.

  • If you plan to show your presentation via Zoom, please plan to share your screen and present your show from your computer.

  • If you plan to show your presentation in person at the library, please bring your slide show on a flash drive or other device to the meeting.  You may load and run your show using Raouf’s computer.

  • Your presentation may be as a video or slide show, with or without music.

  • Our main concern is that we have only one hour and 45 minutes to squeeze in everyone’s photos.  So please limit your presentation time to (1) no more than 5 seconds per photo or (2) no more than 15 minutes for your whole presentation, whichever is shorter.

We proudly share these presentations with the public. Please tell all your friends and family that they are most welcome to attend in person or via Zoom. If you need a Zoom link, contact Juliet Frey (jstarkfrey@comcast.net).

BPC Monthly Club Meeting
Jul

7:00 PM19:00

BPC Monthly Club Meeting

  • Monroe County Public Library, Room 2A (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The BPC will have the nationally acclaimed photographer Lewis Katz as our guest speaker, via Zoom on July 2nd. 

This is a “must attend” kind of presentation that will give you new food for thought as you approach your subjects when making photographs.

Mr. Katz’s presentation to our club is titled, PERSPECTIVE AND PERCEPTION : THE MYTH OF STYLE. This presentation delves into the subject of how we as photographers perceive the composition in our viewfinder and how by altering our perspective, even slightly, the image will become more emotional, dramatic and powerful, both to the viewer as well as the photographer. Minor White was once quoted as saying “Every image is a self portrait.” I believe that to be true especially in cases of the photographer having a strong emotional connection to the subject. However this shift in perspective is quite different from developing your own personal “style” of photography. In this presentation I will discuss and demonstrate the myth of style and how searching for it is actually hindering your own creative process.


Short Bio on Lewis Katz:  After moving to Baltimore in 2001 I discovered and joined the Baltimore Camera Club. I was quickly in awe and humbled by the talent and more importantly I found the companionship of fellow members which is so important to me to this day. The Baltimore Camera Club remains an integral part of my photography life . I have been honored and have received many awards from the competitions at the club.

Teaching photography is another essential component of my photography life as I love sharing my passion . I currently teach for the Johns Hopkins Odyssey program, the Capital Photography Center of DC and for private students as well. I live for those aha moments that only teaching can provide.

My favorite Ansel Adams quote is “A great photograph is one that truly expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” In the same way that your camera captures the light being reflected my photography reflects who I am and all of the experiences of my life.
