April Meeting

An Interview with Nick Dantona

A New Yorker, born and raised, Nick Dantona calls himself a
contemporary color photographer. Much of his career has been in the film and television industry. Early on, as a cameraman for the soap opera, “Edge of Night”, he was given a film camera by the technical director and told to go shoot and take notes. The seed was planted. Although he continued in the “moving picture” business for some years- creating Manhattan Transfer; a post-production company, and Screen Gem- a division of Columbia Pictures, he is now dedicated to still photography full time – a central part of his life where he has blossomed.
Nick is also a winner, being one of the first to take home the National Association of Photoshop Professionals award over a decade ago. You might say he was doing “AI” before it was a thing. Nick is a founding member of SouthLight Salon, an Honorary Nashville photo gallery and sits on the Board of a couple of photographic societies. In Nick’s own words, “I am a child and a product of the Sixties who has had the good fortune of a successful, thirty-year career as a creative professional and artist. My work is influenced by the music, message and events of that generation: Love is the most powerful force in the universe.” Come and listen to Nick tell us more and see yourself in his ventures and success. Don’t be surprised to realize you’ve been watching his work for many years.

May Meeting

Tennessee Rick Elliott

There Are No Absolutes –
And Thats Absolutely True

Let’s take an evening and examine the precepts we hold as photographers. Your ol’ buddy Tennessee Rick will talk primarily about portrait photography, but as a “tip of the hat” to you landscape photographers he’ll mention f/22.0 at least once. Look on YouTube and you’ll see review after review about new cameras and gear that will “make you amazing.” For this one evening let’s talk about what you can do with what you already have.

DPI-SIG Art Show

In an emergency action, Sonny Saunders alerted the membership to the potential disaster of bare walls in the Central Street Library. The members responded, and Priscilla McGuire came out of Art Show retirement to handle the paperwork. A group of wall hangers put the show together and hung it for us. Nice work!

Stop in to the library to see what is on display. Show closes April 30.
