Presentation at Cheltenham Camera Club

Just some of the wonderful folks at the Cheltenham Camera Club!

Last night I had the honor of being invited to present my work as an artist and educator to the incredible folks at the Cheltenham Camera Club (CCC). They got to learn about me and my students and I got to learn about the great things they do. They were also incredibly generous and donated $150 as well as a carload of photo gear to our program so THANK YOU CCC!

Community Walk with Inquirer Reporters

Last week Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Martha Woodall and photographer Rick Kaufmann visited us to do a story on the Shutterbugs. We took them for a walk around the neighborhood so they could get to know us and the neighborhood the kids come from as well as see the Shutterbugs in action taking photos. Here are some of the Shutterbug pics from that day. Keep an eye out for the Inquirer article when it is published on Monday, Feb. 20th!

Photo Day in the Snow!

The Light Room hosted the Shutterbugs last Saturday as the kids braved the snow and spent the day in Fairmount taking photos and developing their first rolls of film. Thanks to Lightroom members Joshua Marowitz, Annarita Gentile, and Erin Yard for taking the time to work with us. Special thanks to member Al Wachlin Jr. who made this whole day happen!
