March 2021 Meeting

Thursday, March 11, 2021 - 6:45pm to 8:30pm
Refer to Meeting Announcement
Judge: 
Ben Greenberg
Theme: 
For the Love of Books

Show your appreciation for books by photographing them or a scene in which they are the only or main component, or where they at least play a key role. Think about creative placement or unexpected perspectives to broaden the range of this theme. Or instead of thinking about books as a noun, perhaps pay homage to a favorite author or the main subject of a book, creating a more conceptual image or using the book as a point of focus to tell a story. Whatever you come up with, a book has to be somewhere within your frame.

Meet & Greet 6:45 PM - 7:00 PM ED

Charlottesville photographer and photography educator Ben Greenberg will judge our competition.  Ben is known for his wonderful landscape images, including his highly successful book of panoramic landscapes titled "Natural Virginia."   He also provides photography instruction.  This summer Ben will teach a course on the aesthetics of photography, emphasizing the decisions that determine whether the photographer achieves real visual impact and wows the viewer.  in recent years, Ben has pursued his interest in wildlife photography.  On March 16 he will present a program of wildlife images including his observations about how a landscape photographer adjusts his equipment, technique and approach to photograph wildlife.
