On Wednesday, May 12, at 7pm, Mike Donovan (West Shore Photography Club) will present "Now and Then: A Look at Today's Photography and the Foundations on Which It Was Built." Mike will be showing the work of some modern photographers and then going back in time to those who did it first. He will not say much about the modern photographers, but will concentrate the information on the historical photographers. He is hoping to reveal the personalities as well as the photography of those who came before us.
Mike suggests that you keep a paper and pencil handy--to write down some names to research later--as he will be covering a lot of ground! More info will be in the next email blast.
