<strong>June</strong> <strong>2013</strong>
President’s Message<br />
P<br />
-30- Nevermore<br />
hotographs are forever, and within <strong>the</strong>m a photographer never passes. Those<br />
are my words, perhaps inelegantly drawn from <strong>the</strong> following words <strong>of</strong> Karl Lagerfeld,<br />
“What I like about photographs is that <strong>the</strong>y capture a moment that’s gone forever,<br />
impossible to reproduce,” and <strong>of</strong> Susan Sontag, “All photographs are memento mori.<br />
To take a photograph is to participate in ano<strong>the</strong>r person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability,<br />
mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs<br />
testify to time’s relentless melt.” While <strong>the</strong>y speak <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> photograph, I speak <strong>of</strong> us, <strong>the</strong><br />
photographers.<br />
Two months have passed since we lost our member, and <strong>the</strong> world lost photographer<br />
Ann Raine, so I was quite surprised during our May 17th competition when, after judging<br />
<strong>the</strong> anonymously submitted digital images, it was revealed that one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> winning<br />
competition photographs was submitted by Ann Raine. It’s no surprise that Ann’s photographs<br />
continue to have an impact but it was somewhat surprising to feel Ann’s presence<br />
with us that evening—especially for those <strong>of</strong> us she beat in competition—again!<br />
For anyone with a print journalism background, <strong>the</strong> term “-30-” is used to signify <strong>the</strong><br />
end <strong>of</strong> a piece <strong>of</strong> written work. According to Hadass Kogan’s 2007 article in <strong>the</strong> American<br />
Journalism Review <strong>the</strong> general adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> term -30- has become so widespread<br />
that Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary gives its definition as, “a sign <strong>of</strong> completion.”<br />
Ann’s work and Ann’s presence among us are apparently not yet completed. In fact, Ann<br />
secured <strong>the</strong> cover for this month’s edition <strong>of</strong> In Focus. “Thirty” for a photographer? I<br />
think not. To paraphrase ano<strong>the</strong>r, “ -30-. Nevermore.”<br />

BIO . . .<br />
Rita Auber, our delightful hostess for our 4b<br />
make-up competition on May 17, <strong>2013</strong>, came to us<br />
via a former member, Silvania Azevedo, who has<br />
returned to her native Brazil. Silvania is welcome<br />
back if she ever returns to <strong>the</strong> US. Rita is interested<br />
in bringing her artistic skills as a hairdresser to ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
as she says, “chapter 2 <strong>of</strong> her life.” Her current<br />
goal is to learn as much as she can so she can <strong>the</strong>n<br />
concentrate on dramatic night lighting and B/W<br />
photography. When Rita is not soaking up whatever<br />
she can about her camera and photography, she<br />
likes to knit blankets and scarves. We are lucky to<br />
have such a versatile new member.<br />

FIELD TRIP CORNER<br />
Photo Opportunities Suggestions<br />
By Deborah Lea Cohen<br />
Although we each know <strong>of</strong> some wonderful places to photograph, <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
always o<strong>the</strong>rs we wish we knew about. It is for this reason our “Field Trip” has<br />
been expanded to “Field Trip and Photo Opportunities.” Hopefully, <strong>the</strong>re is<br />
something for every interest. http://wpsphoto.org/FieldTrips.html<br />
The suggestions are divided into three sections. The first, “Photo Opportunities,”<br />
consists <strong>of</strong> various events held at one venue such as: (1) <strong>Westchester</strong><br />
County has reinstated <strong>the</strong> nine Ethnic Festivals at <strong>the</strong> Kensico Dam from May<br />
through <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> August. Entry and parking is free. (2) The <strong>Westchester</strong><br />
County Center has several photogenic events throughout <strong>the</strong> year. On<br />
July 7, <strong>the</strong> Reptile Expo should interest at least some members seeking scaly,<br />
sli<strong>the</strong>ry creatures to shoot. By <strong>the</strong> way, <strong>the</strong>y’ve <strong>of</strong>ten done well in competition.<br />
(3) The Javits Center has a fine array <strong>of</strong> events ranging from <strong>the</strong> International<br />
Fancy Food Convention to <strong>the</strong> Jewelers Association <strong>of</strong> America Show to The<br />
Wholesale Expo trade show with some <strong>of</strong> a myriad <strong>of</strong> items that can be sold as<br />
wholesale.<br />
The second section “O<strong>the</strong>r Events” has dated events not held in a single venue<br />
are listed. Many <strong>of</strong> our members are avid flower photographers, so <strong>the</strong> Garden<br />
Conservancy Open Days’ website is in a prominent place on <strong>the</strong> list. Past field<br />
trip venues are sometimes listed so that we can attend <strong>the</strong>m on our own while<br />
exploring new scheduled trips as a group. These include Green Chimneys’<br />
Birds <strong>of</strong> Prey (<strong>June</strong> 2) and <strong>the</strong> Wednesday evening car shows at Bear Mountain<br />
from May to September. O<strong>the</strong>r events include apple and/or pumpkin picking<br />
(flowers, fruits, excellent for our Harvest exhibit) and Halloween Blaze in ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
<strong>of</strong> two places. If you’ve been to <strong>the</strong> one in Van Cortland Manor, you may<br />
want to check out <strong>the</strong> one wwin Old Westbury, NY.<br />
The third section, “On-going Photo Opportunities” is a growing list <strong>of</strong> varied<br />
and fascinating places to shoot. These places are open all year. Here are several<br />
unusual museums, such as <strong>the</strong> Motorcycle Museum, Wilderstein House and<br />
<strong>the</strong> Trolley Museum. A few <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> parks with interesting structures and buildings<br />
as well as plants and flowers are Ladson Park and Arboretum, NJ Great<br />
Falls National Park, Untermeyer Park and Lenoir Preserves. Various o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
places are listed that can ei<strong>the</strong>r occupy a full day or just a few hours, but each<br />
will have something worth shooting.<br />
These are just a few <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ever changing opportunities available to photographers.<br />
Besides <strong>the</strong> ones listed, members are continually suggesting field trip<br />
places. When <strong>the</strong>se suggestions not scheduled for club trips, <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
added to one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> three Photo Opportunities Suggestions. All suggestions<br />
are very welcome.<br />
In short, from your own backyard to suggestions on <strong>the</strong> web, just keep shooting.<br />
Shoot from different angles, different settings, using different lens. Go<br />
alone. Go with a buddy. But go! And, most <strong>of</strong> all—ENJOY!!!<br />
