• 51 members and 2 guests attended our October 9th meeting.
• President Jim Pollock introduced our guest speaker, Wayne Fisher as having over 25 years of experience in Event, Sports and Commercial photography and presently Fine Art Black and White Architectural photography.
Mr. Fisher opened his show with a wonderful video about the history of photography that explained, as photographers, how we got to where we are today. This was followed by a series of Wayne’s beautiful, black and white, architectural photos which highlighted his ability to find something interesting to photograph in the most common, everyday things that surround us. The Chatham Camera Club would like to thank Wayne for making the journey from Thornhill to Chatham and for providing some fresh inspiration and a new direction for us to pursue.
• Jim Pollock reminded everyone that entries for our first CCC Photo Competition of this season are due by midnight, Sunday, October 14th. Those photos will be reviewed at our next meeting on Tuesday, October 23rd when we will attempt to take some of the mystery out of tri-pods and heads, Bill Henry will be featured in What I Shoot, and we will have another Print Display.
One-hundred years ago, making photographs in black and white was a technical limitation; today it is a creative choice.
