The new year is upon us and it’s time to get together for our first meeting of 2017. We will have a brief presentation on Topaz Impression post-processing software by Bob Green,  and a round table discussion on the club’s future. We will also allow time for showing personal photos for viewing and critiquing. So bring your jump drives with a dozen of your best winter and holiday photos. The meeting will take place on Wednesday evening, January 11th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Methodist Church on 434 Lewis Street.

The next meeting of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club will be Wednesday evening, November 9, at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis Street. The meeting will begin at 6:00 pm with light refreshments and a short business meeting, followed by a presentation by Herb Grover at 6:30 pm.

Recently (semi) retired as a professor of biology from Wayland Baptist University, Herb spent about 6 weeks in Kenya in 2010 teaching life science to Kenyan students pursuing university degrees through Wayland. Herb’s photo journal of his time in Kenya will focus on his experience with the Kenyan students, as well as several safaris to Nairobi National Park; Lake Nakuru National Park; Mt. Kenya National Park; LeWa Conservancy; and the Maasi Mara National Park. As is the tradition for the club, following the formal presentation members of the club are invited to share a sampling of their favorite photos with those present.

Our October meeting is fast approaching. We will be getting together again at the Methodist Church, 434 Lewis Street, on Wednesday the 12th. Long time member, John Farley, will be sharing and leading a discussion on photos he took on a recent trip to Greece.

Lastly, time permitting, members can bring 10-12 photos on a thumb drive to share with the group for critique and enjoyment.
