Program: Mother Nature’s Playground: A Photographer’s Perspective with Linda Nickell
“Mother Nature provides the playground, and as explorers, we are given access to roam and wander the world that she lends us. Whether you stroll or hike hard, having a love for nature and a camera at-the-ready can make it a transformative experience.”
In this presentation, Linda Nickell takes you on a visual expedition through her Texas playground and invites us to locations both familiar and unknown, introducing us to nature through her lens and perhaps prompting us to slow down and look at our surroundings with a different perspective.

Member Photo Share Theme: Simplify
“After hearing Jerry Sargent’s presentation last month on simplification in photography, and seeing the potential for drama and beauty that can be found in the minimalist image, let’s see what we have learned. Find, or create your own examples of minimalism and send a couple to PhotoShare. In our ever more complex times, a good dose of simplification sounds pretty good to me. “ – Bill Galloway
