Program: So you want to go on a photo tour! – Warren Capps
As a veteran of over 30 photo workshops/tours and operator/assistant for over 10 photo workshops/tours, Warren has learned from experience what to look out for on a photo tour. He will cover three topics: purchasing, planning, and executing. Learn from his mistakes and observations over 30 years!
Warren has been using a camera for nearly 50 years primarily as a hobbyist but occasionally venturing into professional work. His photography education is haphazard and desultory at best, although he has expressed a particular fondness for travel workshops and tours, having attended or run over 40 over the years. He has also served as a photography judge for the Hays County Livestock Show and the Texas State 4-H photography division. His work has been selected for recognition by the Photographers of Dripping Springs (PODS), the Amanda Smith Gallery in Johnson City TX, the Hive Gallery in Bee Cave TX and the Hill Country Alliance annual calendar. He has had two shows at the Mercer St Gallery in Dripping Springs. He is a past President of PODS. His equipment specialty is Olympus (OM Systems) gear, going back to the first OM-1n camera he bought back in 1979 (which he still has and uses).
Member Photo Share Theme: Architecture
Architecture is usually defined as anything designed, drawn, or constructed by human hand. That would obviously include buildings seen in downtown Austin or San Antonio, but also a rustic cabin, a bridge, or an historical storefront in Smithville. However, architecture is also used in descriptions of natural objects such as bird nests or sand dunes. So, let your imagination roam as you create or select two pictures to send to Jerry Sargent at photos@jerrysargent.com.
Election of Officers for 2026 will take place at the January 15th meeting. I hope those currently serving will do so for another year. However, nominations will be open and can be made by email or from the floor.
