VCC presents "Through the Photographer's Eye"

Victoria Camera Club present Through the Photographer's Eye, a two-part program in April, 2010.

Andre Gallant: On Saturday, April 17, we are pleased to present an evening with Andre Gallant, renowned photographer and instructor based in New Brunswick. Andre is a frequent contributor to PhotoLife magazine and has published several books. He continually experiments with new visual techniques and approaches, producing stimulating landscape, travel and abstract images. Andre also teaches and co-authors books with Freeman Patterson. Ticket details for this event will be announced later.

Members' Print Show: For the month of April, a free exhibit of members' prints will be on display. In 2009 an entry from 11 members of the club to Nature's Best magazine was voted Best Camera Club submission, and the works are currently shown at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. The quality of the month-long print show will be equally high.

Both events will be at Victoria Arts Connection, 2750 Quadra Street.
