APL Camera Club Meeting -- November 24, 2016

Submitted by Ronen Grunberg on

Hi Everyone,

The next meeting of the APL Camera Club will be November 24, 2016.

This is going to be a special meeting as I've arranged for Bruce Carmody, an amazing nature and wildlife photographer as well as a storyteller, to speak to the group.  Click here to see a sampling of his photos.

Given the time and work that Bruce is putting into his presentation, I'm asking people to send me an RSVP at reelstories@rogers.com to confirm their attendance.  I want to ensure that we’ll have a decent-sized audience for him.

Hi Everyone,

It's been a long time, but the first meeting of the 2016/2017 season is quickly approaching.  It will be held on October 27, between 7-9 pm in the Lebovic Room of the Aurora Public Library.

MONTHLY CHALLENGE

The monthly challenge for the first meeting will be a simple one:  Your favourite photo taken in summer/fall 2016.  Please be prepared to explain why it's your favourite and what techniques and strategies you used to achieve the image.  If there were any hurdles you needed to overcome to make the image possible please be ready to tell us a bit about this as well.

The Monthly Challenge Photo Gallery is setup and ready to receive your photos.  Please upload ASAP as there are only eight days before the meeting.

APL CAMERA CLUB MEMBERSHIP

It may be that some of you who are receiving this newsletter are no longer interested in participating in the APL Camera Club.  If this is the case, please send me a quick email and I will remove your name from the list and delete your online account.  I am trying to edit the list down to active members only.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you all on October 27.  If you have any questions or concerns please email me at reelstories@rogers.com

Best,

Ronen

Hi Everyone,

This is a quick note to let you all  know that the APL Camera Club's very own Angela Durante Dukat will have the official opening of  her Note to Self exhibition on Thursday January 14 in the Aurora Public Library.  As part of the exhibition's opening night celebrations some of the people whose portraits are in the collection will read their note to self in the library's "living room" area.

The Note to Self Project is a collection of 100 portraits that takes the viewer on a journey guided by the personal reflections of the sitter and the interpretive work of the photographer.

You are all invited and encouraged to attend the exhibition's opening night reception on Thursday January 14 between 7:00pm and 8:30pm.

Hoping to see you all there.

Ronen
