New photography exhibit at Southern Branch Calvert Library

Six of my photos are now part of a display at the Southern Branch Calvert Library October through December 2025.  The library contacted me last year to ask about a solo exhibit, but I thought it might be nice to offer it to our whole camera club.  There is so much talent in our club.  The exhibit is spread around 3 small private meeting rooms, 1 large meeting room and the front hall, so it took a little longer to set up than most of our previous exhibits with only one room.  So stop by and let the art inspire you.  We are always looking for new camera club members (smccc.org). The library website is https://calvertlibrary.info/about-us/locations/southern-branch/

Flower Still Life

I enjoyed playing with still life after buying flowers at the local farms.  Sunflowers are challenging because they wilt very quickly and the flowers face downward.  Lavender was easier, and it lasts a long time.

St Mary's County Fair 2025

 Just a few fun photos from the County Fair Last week.  I was a volunteer for the Photography Exhibit as in many past years, only this year I did more organization behind the scenes, trying to get additional volunteers so the exhibit was run smoothly.  Fortunately, extra unexpected people showed up to help at the last minute too.  I think they all did a great job!

I didn't have time for a lot of creative photos, but tried to get a few shots of my favorite exhibits.
