At the April 8 meeting of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club, club member Kathie Disner will speak about Composition. The meeting will be held at the Community United Methodist Church, located at 434 Lewis Street in Pagosa Springs. Feel free to arrive anytime after 6 p.m. to socialize; the program begins at 6:30 p.m. Photography Club meetings are open to the public.
Kathie Disner is an oil and watercolor painter, and photographer. She is based in the Pagosa Springs area. Kathie initially purchased her first SLR camera to capture images of her artwork for shows and competitions, but it quickly became an indispensable creative tool. Today, she integrates painting from life together with digital photography to design her compositions. Much of her work is rooted in Realism, particularly still lifes that explore the tension between delicacy and danger. She also draws on her wildlife photography to create paintings with a more Impressionist style. You can view more of Kathie’s art at her website, https://www.kathiedisner.com .
Kathie will be talking about the principles of composition in historical artwork and how those principles apply to modern photography and editing to take us beyond the “rule of thirds” to achieve more creative images.
All photographers are encouraged to attend. No matter your experience level, you will learn tips about composition that will improve your photography.

March 2026 Virtual Shutter Challenge
The March Challenge is Color; this topic is open until April 5. Let color lead the eye. Chase bold primaries or whispering pastels. Explore harmony, clash, saturation, and restraint. Let a single hue dominate the frame, or let colors argue at the edges. Photograph emotion, mood, and meaning through color alone. Any photographer is welcome to participate in the challenge by sharing up to three photos as comments on the post about this topic on the Club’s Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/PagosaPhotoClub. And don’t forget to like and comment on the work of others.
