Next Focus Camera Club meeting — online!

Join us Thursday, February 12 for our next club meeting — this time on Zoom, so you can stay cozy at home ☕💻

We’re excited to welcome guest speaker Edward Eastman, who will be talking about Black & White photography. His presentation connects beautifully with our recent CAPA successes and the inspiration they’ve sparked.

Edward has over 40 years of experience in photography and teaches at the Dundas Valley School of Art. His work explores the extraordinary in everyday moments, and we’re looking forward to learning from his artistic approach and insight.

We hope you’ll join us for an inspiring evening of learning and conversation!

Prochaine rencontre du Focus Camera Club — en ligne!

Joignez-vous à nous le jeudi 12 février pour notre prochaine rencontre du club — en direct sur Zoom, bien au chaud à la maison ☕💻

Nous aurons le plaisir d’accueillir Edward Eastman comme conférencier invité. Il nous parlera de la photographie en noir et blanc, un sujet qui s’inscrit parfaitement dans la continuité de nos récents succès au concours CAPA.

Photographe depuis plus de 40 ans, Edward enseigne à la Dundas Valley School of Art. Son travail met en valeur la beauté de l’ordinaire et l’émotion du quotidien — une approche à la fois artistique et inspirante.
