PRESIDENT’S TIME

No report this week

GUEST SPEAKER

Dave introduce our speaker this week –   Karen Stentaford.  Karen is an expert in old-fashioned photography, known as tin-type.  She likens it to the original instant photography (like Polaroid), with the finished picture ready in about 10 minutes.    This historic process dates from the 1850’s and was used extensively for portraits.  She took up this speciality because she did not want a permanent darkroom.  To that extent, she uses a ice-fishing tent when she needs one.  In May of this year she did 74 pictures in a one day blitz at the farmers market and in July and August she spent the summer in Iceland.  She shared some of her photos of that trip.  At the end of the presentation, we all went outside for a tin-type group photo.
