2024/2025 Photography Themes

Creativity rocks!  In order to spur our creativity, focus our attention, and push ourselves to look at something a different way, we will have themes to work on during the season.  This is not mandatory, but simply something fun to work toward and share during our monthly meetings.

In the spirit of the theme, limit this to photos that have been taken over the last year. The whole idea is to practice, get out there (or stay in there), exercise your eye and talents, grow as an artist, and take new photos. 

 While we love to see photos from the theme, share any photos you like; whatever you are working on that is lighting your fire! However, please limit the total number of photos to share to 5 or less. That should give us more time to really view, chew, discuss artistic and technical aspects, and offer constructive ideas if so desired.

Please email your monthly theme photos to Mark Harmon no later than 3 days before the monthly meeting so that he can put together the monthly photo presentation.  You may include title, location, camera settings if you wish to do so.  Mark Harmon:  mharmon@sonic.net.
