Food truck -- Geoff Hansen Photography
Geoff Hansen's presentation, "Pushing the Envelope - How I (accidentally) became a professional photographer," has been rescheduled for March 28, 2022
Members are encouraged to submit images captured when they pushed beyond their usual photographic comfort zone -- either with subject matter, composition, environment or technique. His own photography covers a wide variety of subjects, including vineyards and their cycles from bud break to harvest, sunsets and sunrises, Death Valley, Yosemite, the night sky, as well as a charming pooch named Duncan.
Geoff has long had a passion for photography he explains on his website, and following relocation to the Napa Valley on his retirement, "it has now become my primary pursuit." He views the work as his celebration of the Napa Valley.
A number of his images are on display and for sale in the Art Gallery Napa Valley, 1307 First Street in downtown Napa. His images can also be seen at Beneserre Vineyards, 1010 Big Tree Road, St. Helena.
In addition, Geoff currently serves on the board of directors of Arts Council Napa Valley as well as Professional Photographers of America and the National Photographic Association.
His work can also be seen on Instagram -- @napavalleyimages -- or by visiting www.geoffhansen.photography
