Change to agenda for the November meeting

I've just learned that next month's speaker will be Seth Berkowitz instead of Pierre, who has kindly stepped aside until February. Seth will talk about portraiture and an idea that has come up involving both Photosynthesis and the club.

Condolences on the Passing of Greg Klassen

Many condolences on the passing of one of our distinguished members who spread his love and knowledge of Photography throughout the community.  He will be missed by many - Seldom have I seen such dedication and immersion in our favorite pastime  - his creativity was amazing and his willingness to share and involve his peers in his projects was heart warming and a pleasure to be part of.

tribute to Bob from Seth Berkowitz

I’m writing to the PhotoSynthesis group to let you know that Bob Rogers passed away yesterday (July 4th) at Lady Minto Hospital, though I’m sure many of you will have heard by now. 



Bob was an important part PhotoSynthesis, especially in the early days. As the facilities manager at ArtSpring he would arrive during the day of our setup, staying until the lights were focussed just right for us and helping with the hanging. Bob knew that we photographers were very…

To Bob from Maggie

Hi Friends

I was so saddened to read the email about Bob last night. I'm half way across the US, driving to Iowa to put our house there on the market.

The day I left SSI, I knew Id never see Bob again; I chose to send my love and admiration to him through the ether instead of seeing him one last time after EV came down because at that time, his life was a bit in flux and I didn't need to…

Happy Father's Day!

As many of you know I was blessed to be a father eight times. In the capacity of being kind of a spokesman for this group - I want to wish all the fathers in our club a Very Happy Fathers Day.

Its a great assignment and gives many of us a lot of "material" to use in our imaging processes.

Enjoy the day! Its been a "heady" responsibility but we have been up to it!

Rachel

I had to add an image to my regular entry today because Rachel was a particular friend and very talented photographer and although I could not make to Lady Minto yesterday I could not wait for another turn and I hope Rachel's entry into the next plane was in peace. I am losing a dear friend.

Photography Exhibition

An exhibition of images from South America, by Stasia Garraway is opening at the Salty Pear Gallery this week, Friday June 9th 5 to 10 PM. The gallery is at 270 Rainbow Road (across from the Rainbow road pool). Stasia is a lovely young woman  whom I met recently. An excellent photographer, this will be her first show and will be well worthwhile taking in. The show runs until September 30th.

Happy St. PAtricks Day!

Old saying - "everyone is Irish on St. Patricks' Day!" If that is really not true in your case it is really an invitation to join in the celebration. In another place and another time I hosted an annual celebration in my home and prepared all the  traditional food and trimmings and reveled in the resultant fun and merrymaking. Traditionally it is a day of merrymaking and good fellowship. I was in Dublin on St.Partrick's day in 1987  and enjoyed the fun and congeniality of "Irishmen  (and…
