“Why I Love Photography Today”

With fundamental changes in the ways our businesses work, there have been stressful events in lives of many professional photographers recently. In this climate, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that there are also many very exciting, even revolutionary things happening in the photo world.

The development of outstanding printers and paper comes immediately to mind, but that’s just one of many examples. How about high quality, affordable self-publishing, the ability to shoot in “available darkness” like never before, the possibility of getting portfolio quality images from tiny, completely silent cameras, the ever-closing gap between still and video imaging…

We want to see (and hear about) the things that you are doing in this brave new world.

Make a few prints of any project or exploration (assigned or personal) that was made better, more interesting or even just “not impossible” by some new method. It could be a technique, a material or simply a new way of thinking that resulted from any of the exciting new horizons in photography today.

Bring up to six prints, any size, any format, and be prepared to share a bit about them with the group. It’s a great opportunity to recharge your creative batteries and hang out with fellow photographer colleagues!
