ISSUE 1 - October 2021

Each month we will have articles of interest to budding “senior” photographers (aka Photoboomers), experienced enthusiasts and those who appreciate art. There are no minimum age requirements to join in with us, but if you are in the Instasnapper category, you might not understand the way we talk. There will be a Photo of the Month at the bottom of the page. Be sure to take a look. Try Photoboomers for a bit and see if you like it!

Photographers have a way of collecting gear like Larry King collected wives. Most of us no longer have the strength to carry so much on our backs. You have to wonder if the mule knows how much useless stuff he is carrying! This tendency to pack the pounds applies especially to photographers.

Edward Weston, Joseph Muench, Alfred Stieglitz, Annie Liebowitz and Ansel Adams are just a few of the American photographers who popularized the display and collection of photography as a fine art. There are many more photographers out there today competing for recognition and wall space. Does a photographer have a chance? Absolutely. READ THE ARTICLE TO FIND OUT WHY…

Every issue will feature a Print of the Month. Most of these will be limited edition archival prints that are offered prior to their initial release to the public.

October Trips Scheduled:

Most of the month....having fun celebrating our anniversary by visiting and photographing the Southeastern U.S. Bring on Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, the Blue Ridge Parkway and more. We will post some images on Instagram as we go. It would be my third fall trip there, so the locations are getting pretty familiar. End of the month...Arizona color shows up!
