An All-Day Presentation by John Isaac
Lark Theater, Larkspur, CA
Registration fee $65 per person • $25 student fee
Sponsored by the Northern California Council of Camera Clubs
Journalism • Travel • Nature

John will cover three areas of photography important to us: Journalism, Travel, and Nature. Those, who have heard him, comment on his great sense of humor and teaching ability. He prefers “not to do my lecture in a very structured way, because I do not believe in such structures. I want it to be free-flowing. I do believe that neither life nor photography can be executed in a rigid way. It is a philosophical thought and that is how I approach photography.”
SPECIAL: He will also comment on a number of our N4C photographs, both prints and electronic images, in the last hour of the presentation. They will be chosen in advance.

For more info see the N4C website

The Digital favorites were:
In Slides: Lillies Dancing by Richard Stacks; Cat and Fish by Richard Stacks; Idyllic Day by Burr Preston; Glistening Onions by Burr Preston.  Burr Preston’s work is shown above.

Stacy Boorn Moderates Each member may enter two projected images . This is turning into a very popular evening at Photochrome. Each member brings up to two images, digital or slide. The group comments on each image giving constructive criticism. In return, the maker, if s/he wishes, tells of techniques that make the picture unique. Truly a ‘win-win’ situation. This will be a “Pic Six” night as well, when members who went on the Tide Pool field trip will present up to six images each from that expedition. As you know, when a bunch of people congregate at the same spot, even at the same time, you still get a whole bunch of different impressions.

Each member may show two projected images . Later in the year (November 15) , we’ll have a competition that conforms to careful regulations regarding the category of “Nature” photographs. But not tonight. This is your night to interpret “Nature” as you wish.
