Preparing for Success
Water Cycle -- Todd Pickering
Point Reyes photographer Todd Pickering will join the NVPS membership via Zoom for the Monday, Aug. 22, meeting at 7 p.m. His presentation on nature photography will take up most of the meeting. No images will be critiqued at this time. Instead, participating members will take what they learn and apply it to creating three images for a *triptych to be critiqued during his presentation at the Sept. 26 general meeting. The triptych images should tie together in form, concept or story. The triptych should have a title.
(*NVPS president Phil Venable held a Zoom workshop on how to create a triptych July 25.)
Pickering, a popular guest speaker, received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute where he concentrated on landscape photography and sculpture. Travels have taken him from above the Arctic Circle in Norway to the rainforests in Hawaii and the jungles of Sri Lanka. These days you can find him walking the Point Reyes region on the Marin County coast where he currently leads workshops at his Still Point Studio in Pt. Reyes Station. He has been photographing in and around Point Reyes for more than three decades and says his love for the region gets down to the nuances of the land: the blackberry, the creek, the redwood, the light, the smells -- and the quiet.
