APRIL 2021 meeting highlights

Submitted by Rosanne Rabito, Secretary

The club continues to hold its meeting via the Zoom app. Twenty-two people participated. The meeting began with opening remarks from our President, Judy LaFratta. She started by sharing her screen and stating that the meeting is a Critique on Monochrome photography.

Our Annual Photography Show will be virtual this year. Images should be submitted by e-mail no later than May 10. Entry forms need to be postmarked by May 5. Winners will be announced on Saturday, May 22, on the website. All entries will be posted on the club Facebook page.

The subject of why the Dorothy Hart Center is open to the Women’s Club Art Show but not our show. Our club needs more staff from the Dorothy Hart Center and costs more to run than the Women’s Club Art Show.

The theme for the next issue of “Shuttertalk” is Waterfalls. Congratulations were extended to those members who won at the VMRC show. The FCCA is calling for entries for its upcoming shows. The next meeting of the club will be a presentation on Lightroom by Lewis Katz. The schedule and themes for the meetings for the rest of the year have been set and are available on the “Meetings” tab.

Judy then introduced Kate Guy who had been invited to do the

critique on the Monochrome submissions. She was sent the submissions in advance, and it was obvious from her insightful comments that she had looked them over carefully. When the critique ended, members were encouraged to ask questions and offer any comments. Judging by the comments, Ms. Guy’s observations about the photos were very much appreciated. After thanking Ms. Guy for all her hard work
