CPA Meeting Dates
Wednesday, August 13th - 7:00 - Herb Young Community Center
Print Critique with Chris Richman
********
There will only be one meeting in July and August (July 9 & August 13)
From the President: Photography of works of art that can turn into a project.
We spent a few days in the mountains, and I had the chance to visit Penland Craft School. Although I did not get a chance to partake of any workshops, it is a beautiful place set in the North Carolina Blue Ridge. The galleries were outstanding, excellent works in clay, glass, and fabric. Not much photography, but they do focus on paper making and book arts. It has inspired me to try my hand at creating a handmade book, although I will stick to photo paper. I love making photos of the works of art on display in galleries. This setting was particularly ripe with various compositions. And the best thing about the gallery was the performance of the HVAC system. Just superb. Stay cool, and we will see you at the meeting on August 13. We will conduct our first raffle of the equipment donated by Carol Mitchell. Will Robinson will be selling the raffle tickets. In the meantime…get out there and take some photographs.
Henry Rinne President

“Mystery to Me”
Photograph by Maura Trivette
We are pleased to announce an exhibit of Student Photography from around the Triangle. We had 39 images entered in this year’s exhibit from 13 undergrads—more than last year. The students all submitted quality work and can be rightfully proud of their images. John Lapp and Lynne Necrason were the jurors.
Congratulations to our top 3 entries:
Maura Trivette - Mystery to Me
Don't Look Up - Linnea Kuruvilla
Through the Cracks - Laney Gabosch
You can see all the images displayed in the exhibit gallery at https://www.caryphotographicartists.org/general-2-1.
Our hope as CPA members and visual artists is that they continue on the photographic journey as they enter into real life.

by Chris Richman
In the lead up to this fall’s annual juried print show, Chris Richman will review members' prints with an eye as to how they may be improved conceptually, technically, and in telling their story. It has been a long time since CPA has scheduled a print review, and it is high time to do it again. More information will follow via an email blast on the number of prints each member may submit and on how they should be prepared to get maximum value from this opportunity. Chris is an award-winning photojournalist and fine art photographer. She holds the prestigious Master of Photography, Master Artist and Craftsman degrees from the Professional Photographers of America. She is a Certified Professional Photographer and holds the PPNC Fellowship Degree. She has successfully completed the PPA Judges Workshop. Her twenty years as a senior research scientist, her decades of teaching and leadership in the informal science education arena and her years of editorial sports and event photography give her an eye for precision, composition and storytelling. She is highly regarded for her helpful and positive reviews of printed images. Check out her work: https://www.chrisrichmanphotography.com/
