May 7th, 2024 BPC Meeting: "There are No Absolutes and That is Absolutely True" by Tennessee Rick Elliott

Topic: "There are No Absolutes and That is Absolutely True"" 

Speaker: Tennessee Rick Elliott

Is it an evening of photo exploration or just an act of penance?

Let’s take an evening and examine the precepts we hold as photographers. Your ol’ buddy Tennessee Rick will talk primarily about portrait photography, but as a “tip of the hat” to you landscape photographers he’ll mention f/22.0 at least once. Look on YouTube and you’ll see review after review about new cameras and gear that will “make you amazing.” For this one evening let’s talk about what you can do with what you already have. Maybe “amazing” has been right there in front of us all along, and all we really need to do is cast aside our preconceived presumptions and expand our notion of what actually makes a meaningful photo. We’ll talk a little about light, a little bit about posing, and we’ll especially talk about anyone who doesn’t show up! (Gossip is Tennessee’s speciality)
