Our speaker for our July meeting is Judy Holland. 

Artist Statement – Photography, for me, is a spiritual practice, a way of drinking in and celebrating the everyday miracles to be found in the mundane. I travel very little, but rather focus on a deep appreciation of the everyday beauty that my life on Vancouver Island brings me. No matter where I am, I enjoy making photos to delight the eye and move the heart.

I am located in Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island, BC, and am also available for photography teaching and one-on-one coaching.

Located on the East Coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. With beautiful views, Deep Bay Harbour is convenient to boaters traveling Georgia Straight, the Gulf Islands, and Baynes Sound, or on their way to and from Desolation Sound and points north. It is home to a commercial fishing and aquaculture fleet, and a large number of pleasure craft.

Note:  There are plenty of opportunities for wildlife, seascapes and landscapes photography.  Check out the wildlife at the end of the spit or wander the docks or just savour the scenery.  The lunch restaurant is located on site which mean NO extra driving.

Special:  Lorene has promised us a treat and great opportunity for wildlife photographers. Can’t say what it is but be their for the experience.

Lunch: Is at the Ship & Shore restaurant on the Deep Bay Marina 12:00. The reservation is for inside the restaurant, so if its hot, or windy or raining (heaven forbid) we’ll be comfortable.
