PHOTOGRAPHY

Both Brittany and Kimberly brought several examples of their photography to our last meeting. Brittany is interested in working in Black and White photography and has been recently experimenting in different techniques with distortion using negative exposures of her film. The black and white images work well with the antiqued subjects she chooses -- helping to not only give the photo itself an aged feel -- but enhancing the fact that the original pieces are aged on their own!

The postcards, war bonds and spectacles are outstanding in black and white.

Kimberly showed an album with her photographs of architecture. Her photos included everything from spectacular churches and cathedrals -- filled with intricately detailed woodwork and carving -- to the natural, raw structure of the rocks at Stone Henge. Kimberly was able to capture some great lighting on the buildings and timed her photos around the flow of tourists to keep her subjects as unobstructed as possible. Her album was a beautiful statement of the talent of a photographer with a great concept of architecture.

Both women have a terrific eye for the art of photography -- and both very different in their styles.
