Zoom Call Schedule
The next Photography Zoom meetup (aka NannyHoot) will be held this Sunday, October 9, at 10 A.M. PDT.
Anyone can join to view and discuss images, yours and those of others, though it is not necessary that you submit any images to participate.
The call officially begins at 10 A.M. and goes until 12 P.M. You can join the call (aka NannyHoot) at any time after 9:00 A.M. to chat and meet other photographers who show up early. You can also leave at any time should you have other commitments. Wave goodbye and go, or just go.
If you would like to participate and are not on the reminder list, please send a request via email and I will send you a link to join the call.
"Many
thanks for yesterday's Zoom. I really appreciate the comments about my
images - lots of valuable and useful info there!" ~ Pilar Belmonte-Hartmann

©2022 Galen Rowell
"At the heart of all photography is an urge to express our deepest
personal feelings – to reveal our inner, hidden selves, to unlock the
artist. Those of us who become photographers are never satisfied with just looking at someone else’s expression of something that is dear to us. We must produce our own images, instead of buying postcards and photo books. We seek to make our own statements of individuality." ~Galen Rowell, 1940-2022
Galen Rowell was the most influential landscape photographer of his generation. Whereas Ansel Adams worked primarily in large format black and white using wide-angle lenses, Rowell photographed using 35mm color with a preference for telephoto lenses.
His first photo assignment for National Geographic was of himself ascending Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. Because he was an accomplished mountaineer he pioneered a new kind of photography in which he was not merely an
observer but a participant in the landscape scenes that he
photographed.
He was also an inspirational teacher. This 10-minute video is not as much about Galen as it is about his process.

Social Media is a good way to make new best friends who don't really care about your photo of Mt. Everest as much as their cute photo of their new kitten.
Blogging is a better way to attract people to your website and to view your work.
In this article, Zoe Hiljemark gives nine tips on how to promote your photography through blogging.

The town of Borodyanka may have faced some the worst attacks since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. Although the Ukrainian army regained control of Borodyanka, it is now a "ruined town" strewn with destroyed buildings and burnt armored vehicles. School buildings, homes and apartments in the town center were severely damaged as a result of air and ground strikes.
Truth in Photography is one of the most important forums for documentary photography and social awareness being published today.
It is an open-ended forum for active dialogue and discussion about photography and social change, exploring issues vital to truth in image-making that are crucial to our understanding of the world today. This interactive project questions the singular truth of photography by presenting multiple points of view, featuring diverse curators, photographers, critics, and historians, and integrating vernacular photography, photojournalism, and fine art photography.
Truth in Photography interrogates the nature and intentions of the medium and examines the relationship between the photographers and their subjects. Truth in Photography is produced by Documentary Arts in collaboration with Magnum Photos, Aperture Foundation, and the International Center of Photography.

Social Documentary Education is an initiative of the Social Documentary Network offering classes taught by outstanding instructors for photographers and people interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in the field of documentary photography.
Classes include "Developing a Personal Documentary Project" with Ed Kashi, The Art of Impactful Storytelling" with Salwan Georges, and "Art in Service of Real Life Stories" with Amber Bracken.
Fall 2022 classes begin this week - I would have mentioned this in the last Nexus but I received notice in mid-September.

But ShifCam has changed the game by introducing a full line of quality accessories dedicated to cell phones. These include quality lenses, pro grips, LEDs for cell phones, and camera mounts.
If you're using a cell phone for some or all of your photography, or want to do more, check out ShiftCam.
