On November 21st, Cole Thompson will be the guest presenter.
Cole’s goal is simple, to produce fine art black and white photography.
While living in Rochester, New York, Cole was led to read the biography of George Eastman, the modern father of popular photography. From there Cole began a lifelong fascination with black and white photography.
As a teenager, Cole would spend hours looking at fine art black and white photographs from the great masters of photography. They shaped his vision of what fine art black and white photography was. For Cole, color records the image, but black and white captures the feelings that lie beneath the surface.
Cole’s art has appeared in many exhibitions, publications and has received numerous awards. And yet his resume does not list those accomplishments, why? He believes that the best success is achieved internally, not externally. Many have asked about his qualifications given his non-traditional resume. Cole answers, “My images are my qualifications, nothing else matters.”
Be prepared to speak briefly about your images. For example, you may want to share an interesting morsel of information about the subjects, or about where the photographs were taken. Or, you could ask for help identifying your subject and find out what is the best canon dslr with flip screen for your photography projects, read at Technomono. You may want to focus on a theme such as your summer in nature, or your favorite species, etc. If you are a member, this is a great chance to present your artwork in a fun and relaxed environment.
