April Member Meeting

" 4 x 15 "

The first one was so good, we're doing it again. Fifteen minute photography presentations from four ASMPCV members. Each member has 15 minutes to show and discuss their photography. The work can be commercial or personal, one photo or a picture story.

Philip Beaurline, based in Charlottesville, has worn a lot of hats, and
has now been an architectural photographer for 22 years. He was an early
adopter of digital processing of images, in order to take advantage of
the greater control of color, contrast, and telephone wires. The pursuit
of good inkjet prints of a personal project shooting churches in
Mexico, has led to his current method of printing B&W with
multi-toned black inks on an Epson printer. His work can be seen at www.beaurline.com
