May meeting May's meeting will take place May 18th at Bob Harper's studio at 120 W. Queens Way in Hampton. The social hour will begin at 6:30pm followed by the meeting at 7:30pm. Our speaker will be Tidewater's own Becky Clark! Have you wondered how the kaleidoscope images are made? How someone can repeat the same image over and over and make something new? Becky will share her methods for making her images and share the lessons she learned Illusory Garden
while constructing them. She
will include some of the inspiration and how the images are constructed in a very easy to understand manner and some of the concerns. Becky has been in photography for almost fifteen years. She worked with a Master Photographer in Colorado and began to learn photography. After Sweet Dreams
moving to Virginia she started RC Photography with
her husband Wayne and enjoys photographing children to allow her goofy side out. She is a certified professional photographer, a member of VPPA and PPA and has her AFP from Virginia. Recently, Becky has enjoyed success in print competition with kaleidoscope images winning the Creative Court of Honor last year and Best Creative Image in 2015.
