April Meeting
Apr 4 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Our speaker for April is Lorna Zaback. Lorna picked up her first SLR camera as a teenager and immediately fell in love with taking pictures.  For Lorna, photography is not only about attempting to create beautiful and inspiring images, it is also a journey of discovery, of striving to find her artistic voice. 

While she will always appreciate and endeavour to capture the beauty of the world around her with her camera, her goal is to also use some of her photographic images as the foundation for creating works of art that are rich in colour, texture, and movement.

Be certain to visit Lorna’s website at this link.

We will be showing our Favourites from March, our field trip outing to Buckerfields and the Round assignment.

We encourage all members to consider taking a few hours each month and to contribute to the club’s management in the role of a director or a team player.

May Meeting – Annual General
May 2 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm


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.

June Meeting
Jun 6 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

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.

Our speaker for July is Jurgen Schwerdt. Jurgen is a macro photographer from Nanaimo.  His topic is “Macro Maniac” and will be very informative for all enthusiasts in the club.

As he says, “Macro photography gives me the ability to photograph at home or away in virtually any light and weather condition. That is one of the reasons it has become my favourite pastime.
