Jennifer King Presents our August Meeting: Winter Inside Yellowstone
Winter landscape in Yellowstone by Jennifer King
You don't want to miss this program! Escape the August heat, slipping into winter in Yellowstone.
Jennifer King writes: In the season of silence, frost and light reshape the landscape, revealing a world of extraordinary beauty. Snow-covered forests, frozen rivers and steaming geysers create moments that connect us to the power of nature's resilience. Winter is the story of survival where a quiet peacefulness is met with the harshest conditions. A place where nature is challenged to thrive and survive. For photographers, it's more than a season - it's a chance to witness and connect to an untamed wild in its purest form.

About our meetings
Our meetings are held on the second Thursday of even number months (February, April, June, August, October and December) at 7:00 PM Pacific Time. These meetings are free to all interested parties, but you must register in advance to gain access.
Each year, four of our six meetings are presentations by invited speakers and feature special locations or topics, photo techniques, or conservation issues.
We are always looking for high-quality programs and welcome suggestions and referrals. If you have one, please contact our programs coordinator, Susan Manley at ssnmanley@yahoo.com.
The other two meetings are Members Shows, when several of our subscriber-members share a selection of their best photos. It's almost like a photography potluck! Look for Members Shows in June and December. We hope you will attend and share!
About Our Meetings Banner
Photographer Nick Brandt brought large scale B+W prints to share for our December 2009 meeting and the best available space to display them was the floor. He had amazing and moving stories of capturing portraits of a variety of East African beasts and of the adversity they faced every day. In 2009, in his book On This Earth, he wrote:
I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes."
