Our next meeting: Tuesday, October 8, at the Davis Senior Center (see below for program and address) at 7:10 p.m.
We are a group of photographers interested in sharing techniques, knowledge and friendship among our members and our community. Our goal is to promote the art of photography and understand the science of photography.
We organize monthly meetings with guest speakers and photo critiques. We also occasionally organize photo exhibits, photo workshops, field trips — and volunteer to photograph community events.
We welcome everyone to join us in our wonderful learning experience as well as our warm social gatherings, and to share their passion and photographic artistry.
You can meet us on the second Tuesday of every month (except July and August) at:
(usually) The Blanchard Room Mary L Stephens Davis Branch Library 315 East 14th Street Davis, CA 95616 (or, when that room is not available) The Activity Room Davis Senior Center 646 A Street Davis, CA 95616 (corner of 7th and A streets)
Best regards,
The Photography Club Of Davis
Our next meeting’s program:
Laurie Friedman on: Oaxaca
Oaxaca is a lovely town in central Mexico, and is one of the best places to experience the traditional Day of the Dead festival—which rivals Christmas in importance to the Mexican people. Every year on November 2nd people clean and decorate the gravestones of relatives, and put out food that their relatives enjoyed while living to invite them back to visit. In this way they keep up a connection with and memory of those who have passed. Though mostly a happy occasion, gathering relatives and friends to remember their passed relations, there are poignant moments.
Laurie Friedman, a past-President of the Photography Club of Davis and award-winning photographer, will present photos from her trip to Oaxaca, not only visiting Oaxaca for Day of the Dead, but also the markets and the ancient Zapotec ruins surrounding it. All are invited to the program (open to the public) of the Photo Club of Davis at 7:10 p.m. on October 8th at the Davis Senior Center.
