We have a special treat in store for us on July 16, when Dave Cattell, a UK photographer and now San Francisco resident will share some of his images. He’ll also talk to us about his work in Borneo with the Raleigh Group. Raleigh’s projects enable young people to experience and help protect not only Borneo’s pristine and wild conservation areas but also life in its varied ethnic communities.

Let’s meet in front of the Visitor Center on Hyde Street Pier at 9:30 AM.

Photography: Tripods are OK. We are going to walk down the pier and photograph anything you want. There are quite a few interesting details along the way. The $5.00 entrance fee is to go aboard the ships anchored at the pier. The best photo opportunities are aboard the Balclutha, Eureka and Hercules. Don’t forget Fisherman’s Wharf. It too is filled with great sites to photograph. Finally, the Hyde Street Cable Car terminal is just a short walk away with images waiting to fill a roll of film or flash card.

Directions: The Hyde Street Pier entrance is located at the corner of Hyde and Jefferson Streets. The best way to get there is by public transportation. However, there is parking at the Ghirardelli Square parking garage ($$$) on Larkin between North Point and Beach Streets .

Entrance Fee: $5.00, but if have an America the Beautiful or Golden Age Pass, you will get in for free.

All are welcome to attend. This is where we plan and discuss meetings, activities and general maintenance of Photochrome. The meeting is held in the Gallery Annex / Fireside Room upstairs on the main level of the Church and lasts about an hour and a half. Some terrific ideas come from the suggestions of members who just happen to drop in.

As usual, two images per person may be entered. We will open the meeting with a “PicSix” from the Ardenwood Field trip. Then everyone gets the opportunity to show off their favorites. Experiment or go classic. Either way, enjoy the applause and the questions from the audience. “How did you do that?” is a frequent one. No judges, no scores, just conversation and a great learning experience.

Send your digital images by midnight Wednesday to: Photochromeprojectionist@gmail.com
