In Memoriam: Suzanne McDonald

Picture
Longtime WCCC member and friend to many of us, Suzanne McDonald passed away late November. Suzanne was a dedicated member of the club for years, helping with membership and acting as the club's Treasurer. Her interests and volunteer work extended beyond photography ---including the Dartmouth Public Libraries, where Suzanne served on the Board of Trustees. We will all miss her.

A gallery featuring some of Suzanne's images appears below.
Upcoming Activities for Club:
The club has a number of meetings and activities leading up to, and beyond the holidays. Highlights of activities planned over the coming weeks include:
  • Food and Product Photography: The December 15 meeting will continue our focus on education, when Kelly Smith leads a discussion on "Food and Product Photography". Kelly's "day job" includes providing professional photography services for a number of companies in the region, so she will be able to discuss this topic from both an artistic as well as a business perspective.
  • "12 Elements of a Great Photo" - Chane Cullens: The January 5 meeting will feature a presentation by professional photographer and NECCC officer - Chane Cullens. His presentation will focus on the elements that help create great photographic images.
  • January 13 Mentor Night  - "Sky Replacement": Kelly Smith will demonstrate techniques for replacing dull gray skies (an appropriate topic for cold January days).
  • January 19: Digital Competition #3: Our next club competition will focus on Food and Product photography, giving us an opportunity to use some of the techniques demonstrated in her December 15 presentation.
