No time for jetlag… New Zealand was fantastic and during a small plane ride over Fiordland National Park I met a fellow photographer (http://mhcphotography.co.uk).
I hope to see some of his work on his web site, because I don’t have time to work on my images right now. My dining room looks like a matting/framing workshop, because the December 2 opening of our Exhibit in the Nicole Stott Gallery in the Mori Hosseini Student Union Building on the Daytona Beach campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is coming up before we know it.
It is fun to meet a fellow photographer, but we didn’t have time to talk; there was so much to see: glaciers, the highest mountain on the South Island (Mt. Cook) and the bluest lakes you ever saw: Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki. This 50 minute plane ride was called “The Grand Traverse” (experience the flight of a lifetime) and that was so true…
We photographers are chasing the light and if you do that in a different place it is so exciting. But the challenges we do at the Casements Camera Club teach us that staying in your normal environment and giving yourself a task (like this month Filling the Frame) is just as exciting.
The creative juices flow easily and in our exhibits we’ve seen examples of this creativity. The upcoming exhibit is no exception: 26 photographers have 42 images in this exhibit and all field trip images (we did 3 field trips to the Daytona Beach campus of Embry-Riddle) will be presented in the Willie Miller Instructional Center Auditorium on December 3!
Nerve-racking and exciting at the same time! We have to thank the Director of Communications of Embry-Riddle, James Roddey, for his co-operation. James, we are ready…
In my blog of next month I will write how we did!
Till then,
