Welcome one and all to the Hub Camera Club!

Message from the Chairman

We had a strong meeting in March as reported by Sarah in the Minutes. It was the first time Sandy Parker did our evaluation. It is always interesting to see what the professionals bring to share with us and to benefit from their individualized style. We enjoyed meeting her and her husband and appreciated her positive critiques. We can learn from “what to do” as well as from “what not to do.” I read an article in the October 2011, PSA Journal “Image Analysis: Is it Objective or Subjective” pg. 30 by Jon Fishback. He suggests that if the evaluations were all objective we could program a computer to evaluate and soon “the winner would be the ones who mechanically followed the hackneyed rules programmed into the computer.” So he sheds light on the importance of subjectivity. And after all, isn’t that what we want, to be able to express ourselves creatively. Now, I look forward to all your wonderful expressions of creativity for our final judging at our May meeting. In the mean time, see you at the April meeting for Ed’s continued workshops, see his announcement in this month's f-stop.
-- Joann Nixon, Chair
