What we have going on…
NOTE: This month the field trip is on a Sunday
Spring at Tiger Lily Farm is such an exciting time with the birth of lambs, calves, pigs, and sheep providing us with fantastic photo opportunities.
Not into the animals?? There are many other things for you to see and photograph from inside the store, the old and new farm machinery and tools plus so much more
This is a field trip that will have something for everyone.
As a special for the photo society they are not going to charge us but ask if there are any photos you that you really like the way they turn out if you could share them with them for their website and Facebook page. They will give you full credit for your work. You can make a donation if you would like but it is not compulsory.
Lunch will be at Trees
1385 Alberni Hwy, Parksville BC V9P 2B8
(across the street from the Coop service station on the highway)

Our Annual General Meeting night is on Wednesday May 3rd.
Elections for our new management team will be held at this meeting. Richard will offer his final message and we will hear from each of the management team. Our slideshows from the month of April will be run and then Richard will announce our photographer of the year and conduct the elections.
Remember that all positions are open, we are all volunteers on the board and we all welcome the opportunity for new members to join us and bring their new ideas. Once the new team has been voted in, announced and introduced we will have a social evening.
As a BC Society, we are required to review the rules under which we operate (check here). Take this opportunity to meet with the new group and discuss any changes that you think would offer improvements to any aspect of the club’s activities.

Our speaker for June is member Wayne Buhr. Wayne is an award winning photographer who has traveled the world capturing amazong images.
As he says, “Photography is my passion and language of choice. It allows me to communicate a personal perspective of my life experiences. I have tried to capture the common denominators of humanity and the similarities in the lives of ordinary people. Street photography gives me that opportunity.”
