• 56 members attended our April 10th meeting.
• President Carson Plant reminded us that we still need a Vice-President, a Treasurer and an Executive Assistant to help run The Club next season. If you can spare a little of your time and talent, please let Carson know at: plant1238@gmail.com
• Our guest speaker for the evening was Award Winning Photographer and Visual Effects Supervisor, Bret Culp.
Bret gave us a truly inspirational lesson on How To Find Your Photographic Style by taking us through his own photographic evolution from his earliest film days to his acceptance of the digital system. Two slide shows were followed by a challenge to each of us to write our own Artist’s Statement, which is an introduction to our work, not to you, not your photography and not about the process of making the work. It is a daunting task indeed. Bret also revealed some of his secrets for shooting Black And White photos, a skill at which he excels. The Chatham Camera Club would like to thank Bret for making the trip to Chatham from Toronto and for providing us with another fascinating direction to explore.
Bret Culp’s book, “The Beauty Of Impermanence” is available at Amazon.com

There will be doubters.
There will be mistakes.
But with hard work, there are no limits.
Here is Karen Quist’s take on
