Message from our President
Hello Everyone,
Wow, we have a fun few months
of the club this year, with some
great speakers and a fabulous
first digital photo contest. We
certainly have some talented
photographers among our club in
all three categories, as you'll see
by the winning images in the
newsletter and website.
The weather this year for December certainly is allowing us to get out and enjoy the City and surrounding
areas for some photo opportunities. Don't forget to keep shooting all the
seasons in the Beaches.
We are working on getting some great opportunities for some learning
through workshops and critiques at the club for everyone. Look forward to
more info coming soon on this.
Remember we are always looking for some great articles or images from
any of your travels or opportunities to showcase your work. Please submit
the info so we may include it in our next newsletters.

Dec. 17— Holiday Social at the Beacher Café 2162 Queen St. E
Jan. 7 – Moving Pictures – By Vid Inglevics
In the past decade, as most still photography cameras have become video-capable, more and
more still photographers have started to experiment with video-making. Vid Ingelevics, photographer, arts writer, Ryerson instructor and independent curator, will share aspects of his experience
of shifting between still and moving images by showing clips from some of his artistic projects that
highlight both the development of the technology used and the content.

What: Each member can submit one (1) image for critique. Any subject matter.
How: Open verbal critique by the club. Short constructive comments and discussion, moderated

How to Submit: Ensure that image title and maker name are included in the filename. Open
format for filename but be sure these two elements are included. JPEG images with long side no
longer than 1280p (same as competitions). Email to Sarah at [email protected].
The event: Images will be loaded to a slideshow in the order of first come first served. Left over
un-critiqued images will be handled during subsequent meetings at a short intro session ahead of
the guest speaker.

GTCCC Inter-Club Competition
The time is approaching for the GTCCC (Greater Toronto Council of Camera Clubs) Inter-club
competition. The competition is similar to the events we hold within the club but on a much bigger scale. There is both a Digital and Print component to the event.
In addition to individual winners, there is a club award for the best performance by its members.
Individuals can submit up to 10 entries with a max of 7 digitals and a max of 4 prints. There is no
maximum for number of submissions in a category, so for example you can submit 7 digitals all in
the Architecture Category.
Entry fees are $2.00 per image/print to a maximum of $16.00, so if you chose to submit 10, the
last 2 submissions are free.
There are 10 tightly defined categories, with an 11th ("Human Portraits") embedded in the 10 - in
other words, they will pick out the best human portrait from your submissions in the 10 categories. If you are specifically submitting a Human Portrait, simply submit it under "People".
We will be sending out the entry form to everyone shortly. In the meantime, please get started on
finding those perfect images for submission. Read the category descriptions carefully, as images
that do not clearly reflect the category will be scored low.
We will require your entries before January 10 - more details on how to submit to follow.
The submission rules and category descriptions have been posted to our website—we will update
once we have sorted out the technical bits. Click here to view or download.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mark Kremblewski
<[email protected]> directly.
Fun Phone Camera Photo Challenge

of the theme.
First, download the Instagram app to your phone.
Upload a photo to Instagram,

Photography grew as a hobby as I travelled

day walking around a new city taking photos.
I joined the club to improve my skills and I find
the competitions the best learning experience
of all. Since retirement I have downsized from
Sony a850 (1 kg, body alone) to the A7, still
full frame, but smaller, lighter and more capable!

Annex Christmas Decoration Walk—December 13th, 10am to 1pm
Meet at Dupont Station south east entrance upstairs by the turnstiles. Hopefully we’ll get a nice
snow day for this. Or at least have some snow on the ground. Christmas decorations should be
abound in this area, especially if you’re thinking of making a Christmas card this year.
I suggest the Pour House to warm up with good food and a beer.

Jewelz Journey, by Sarah Boutilier
A few months ago, I signed up with Model Mayhem to get myself motivated to photograph more people, experiment with light and basically let my imagination go wild. Not too long after signing up I had two
people contact me asking to photograph them based on the photos I
posted to my profile. On Remembrance Day, I photographed Jewelz,
a vivacious, curvy young woman who’s goal it is to break into the plus
size modeling world. She is so passionate about this, she even has
“EFFYOURBEAUTYSTANDARDS” tattooed on her left calf.
Before the photo shoot, I researched how to photograph curvy women. I managed to find great images online for tear sheets that both of
us looked through for inspirations. In my research, I discovered a household icon, whom everyone
knows as Spock, photograph curvy, voluptuous women along with other fantastic bodies of work.
‘scuse the pun.
Leonard Nemoy is interviewed in this article showcasing his work from, “The Full Body Project”. It’s
so far, one of the best articles I’ve read about this project. Perhaps it’s because I can hear his voice
ring out that is truly his and not Spock’s. Thank God… I don’t… have… to hear… Kirk’s! For the first
time in my mind, Leonard Nemoy is his own person. I sent another article about “The Full Body Project to Jewelz. I wasn’t sure if she knew about it already. Turns out she didn’t and here’s what she
she wrote back, “OMGSH THAT LINK WAS DOPE. I have no idea Leonard N did photography and he is
fabulous at it. The black and white was dope and then i saw the full body and im like WOO.” I was
very pleased to know she was as much excited about this discovery as I was. Indeed, I’d love to get
my hands on a Leonard Nemoy book of photography.
It was a simple set up; a canvas mottled brown background, 1 Alien Bee with a shoot through studio
umbrella. In the beginning, I didn’t move the light source from the left side I had it in. The light filled
the space completely lighting her softly, so for the most part we went through many poses, some
working some not. Jewelz had so many great facial expressions that I asked her to look pouty, surprised, or sheepish. Another great feature, her hair. I kept fluffing it forward and she kept smoothing
it back. From these batch of photos, I had an inkling they were like a painting I had once seen, or
several paintings from the same artist, but I couldn’t put my thumb on it until Rob mentioned it at
Photographers Anonymous. “You know what these are like?” asking me to scroll back to a full length
of Jewelz pigeon toed and looking as though she was caught with her hands in he cookie jar. ” No
what?” “It looks like a Botero Sculpture.”

Jewelz Journey, by Sarah Boutilier, cont.
Not recognizing the name right away, I said, “it looks like that Mexican Folk Artist.” “Yeah, Botero!
And he’s Columbian, not Mexican.” It’s because of his suggestion that I’ve contacted Jewelz again to
see if she’d like to do another shoot in the Botero Style. She’s agreed and the shoot takes place on
December 3rd, but more about that later.
Close to the end of the night, I decided to move the lighting from the front to the side. Tethering or
wifing it through the Canon 6D would have come in handy at this point. Now I had dramatic lighting,
but felt as though I’ve exhausted every pose. Or the poses that looked great before, didn’t work
now. This was what I needed. A chance to switch up the lighting and experiment, especially with a
challenging unique body type. In the end I had some successful poses, but because there was little
time remaining, I wasn’t able to pull much more from myself or Jewelz. My favorites besides the Boteroesque images were the portrait shots. Jewelz full moon face, rosebud mouth and runaway curly
hair reminded me of a cherub from a Leonardo Di Vinci painting. Lol. I’ve also thought of cherubs as
yet another themed photo shoot for Jewelz.

Working With Freeman Patterson, by June Galbraith
In 2013, Barbara Merritt and I flew to New Brunswick to attend a 7-day workshop given by Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant. Needless to say it was a wonderful experience.
Last summer, we decided to do a one day Master Class with
Freeman, renting the cottage behind his house at his 500acre property in Shamperʼs Bluff, New Brunswick. During the
day he worked us hard and in the evenings the three of us
enjoyed one another’s company, sipping wine while shooting
the sunset from his deck. It was just amazing to learning
from his skill, gather his wisdom, laugh and share stories.
The experience will remain with us always.
Last month we received a call from Sandy McMurrich, who
has been Freemanʼs agent and friend for the past 16 years.
Freeman was flying in for a couple of weeks, and would be
staying at his home in Oakville to exhibit and sell some of
his work. Sandy invited us to join Freeman and a few other
friends for an intimate dinner at his home. We had the
pleasure of viewing the exhibit privately, and yes, we are
both now owners of an original Freeman Patterson! Sandy
will be visiting each of us as he insists on coming to each
home to choose the best location to hang each piece. Heʼs
very protective of Freemanʼs work!
Reflection of Freeman’s House through the barn
window
For both Barb and me this has been an experience of
growth, shared passion of photography, laughter and friendship. We encourage anyone who is considering a workshop, Through the deck with Lupines in the fields
retreat or class to jump in with two feet as these events
have really shaped our photography in ways we could not
have imagined.

CHARLES MATTON
A Photographic Survey
Exhibition Dates: November 28, 2015 – January
16, 2016
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 28, 25pm
This exhibition will display a selection of work, including photographs from his very first
“Reconstitutions of Sites”, from the early stages of a
process started in 1986 which led to his famous
“Boxes”. The self-described “manufacturer of images” created these interiors by designing, building,
sculpting, painting, and lighting miniaturized sets.
Matton then photographed these sets to produce
“almost realistic” images depicting a parallel universe
of spaces and accessories created by the artist
through composition, material, and colour. He carefully crafted lighting, the final step in his process, to
break down the appearances into endless interpretations in his obsessive search of reality.
