Our speaker will be Greg Holden, giving a talk on ‘Learning to See Creatively.’ Greg will discuss how he sees the world around him and how he captures that through his photographs. He’ll discuss his approach for finding different viewpoints in common scenes and how he creates interesting abstract images by isolating a part of a scene. Whether it is iPhone photos taken in his kitchen or DSLR images from local parks, Greg’s photos will demonstrate that you do not have to travel to exotic locations or spend hours using software manipulation to make creative images.

After Greg’s presentation, members will share some of their photos. Greg will pick favorites to post on our website, but with no scoring and no “Winners”.
