Judged Night with special guest and judge Dick Stahlke

Dick has been photographing seriously since about 1993 & has studied with many of the best, including Freeman Patterson, Galen Rowell, George Lepp, Eddie Soloway, & Neil Chaput de Saintonge. Beyond the technical aspects of good photography, Dick soon realized that the best of photographic expression emanates from within oneself. It communicates the essence of the subject in some way, using principles of design, lighting & perspective to elicit a response from the viewer. The attempt to achieve in an image what he wants to see & wants to communicate is a constant challenge. He feels that judging will be a similar challenge, beginning with the craft of photography & looking for greater meaning & interpretation in the photographic expression of others.
