Jan 9, 2012
7:00 PM Our guest Monday evening, January 9, 2012 will be Dusty Viedeman from Revelstoke. He has owned and operated Revelstoke Photohouse from 1969 to 2007, his passion in the last 6 or 7 years is bird photography, and he currently works part time as an industrial photographer for BC Hydro. Among his other interests are flying, snowmobiling in the winter and motorbiking in summer. He flies radio controlled aircraft as well and has a class three Ham Radio License. I initially asked Dusty to share some of his bird photography with us. When he returns from southern Alberta later this week from his Snowy Owl expedition, I hope to convince him to also share some of his experiences as an industrial photographer if he is able to do so. There appears to be quite a bit of interest from our club in that area as well. I am hoping that there will be time for a guided " Practice Tips " session at the end for those of us with camera our cameras. I know Dusty is looking forward to meeting some of our local Photo Arts enthusiasts, as he has been here photographing many times on his own and is aware of the richness of our area and we look forward to seeing him and you Monday evening.

Henry Schnell will join us on Monday evening to look back on some of our predecessor's views on "work", as seen through their cameras, to discuss some of the important features of how we should view work and how specific aspects of work can be captured successfully. Do cultural differences affect how we perceive work and how do people from different cultures photograph work? This view overlaps also with "street photography”. He will take the time to share some of his personal experiences with industry and street photography in Europe, South America and Africa. Henry, who has been a long-time enthusiastic member of the Saskatoon Camera Club and Versailles Images in France, will bring an international perspective to our meeting. He will undoubtedly catch our attention. Finally, Henry has organized a photo-shoot on the weekend after the meeting (February 18) to help those of us who wish to put some of the elements of his presentation to the test. He will need to know the numbers of participants expected next Saturday.
