Manfred Mueller: Printmaking & Bookmaking – Preserving your Photographic Legacy

When we are no longer around, no one is going to look at our hard drive to see our photographs. Making prints, on the other hand, gives us something that we can hand down to our children and grandchildren. Prints are something we can enjoy without having to resort to technology to view our photographs.

Join club member and print maker Manfred Mueller in examining some of the options we have to make and display prints and to create photo books.

Bill Pratt: Freeing Your Muse

How far do you want to push beyond just Thinking Like a Photographer?  At our March 7th meeting, Bill will share his journey on how to be more creative in achieving the desired Image from the captured data. He’ll provide examples of before and after Images and present a few AV Shows.  This Presentation focuses on the What & Why, not the How.

Bill’s Artistic Statement 

I believe pressing the shutter is only the first step in the photographic process.  The photographic Image can be so much more than it was in the past.  Modern tools now allow the photographer to more clearly convey to the viewer the artist’s interpretation of the world and of their perception of life.  I use a varied tool kit to create an Image that hopefully evokes for the viewer a strong sense of what I experienced and what I felt; not just what I saw.

The Renaissance of Film Photography


Most of us in our camera club began our photographic journey taking pictures on film. With the advent of digital photography, many predicted the demise of film photography, but this is far from the case today.

In the past few years, there has been a remarkable resurgence of interest in vintage film cameras and lenses, especially amongst young photographers in the 18 to 30-year-old age bracket. Older SLR cameras have increased in value and film is once again being stocked in photo stores.

This presentation explores this “rebirth” of interest in film photography and the allure of old cameras and lenses. The presenters share some of their vintage camera collection as well as photos taken with those cameras. In addition, the audience will learn about ways to recondition old cameras and lenses that may have been languishing in an old cupboard and get them working again. The presentation also reviews the types of film currently available.
