October Monthly Challenge
2021-10-12 | TX
Monthly Member Photography Discussion: The themes for our October meeting are “A Set Piece: Dark and Moody (with Perhaps a Take-off on Classic Art Work)” based on Oona’s September presentation and “Window Light (One Window Only)“. We believe the monthly themes help one become a better photographer if you go out and make new pictures. So make up to five pictures (1400 pixels long side) and send them to Tim@PhotoWatson.com no later than Monday, October 11th.

Family Portrait Posing Workshop with Buzz Marvins
2021-10-09 | TX
On Oct 9, 2021 Buzz Marvins provided a great lesson in posing for family portraits at the Trini Mendenhall Community Center.
This was a training session in preparation for the Fort Hood Family Portraits on Nov 4. The session was attended by most of the photographers that will be at Fort Hood this year. Each team got some hands on experience working the methods taught by Buzz. Special thanks to the Padron family for their patience and help.

Star of Hope Portraits
2021-09-25 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Star of Hope, 2575 Reed Rd, Houston, TX, 77051, United States
We will photograph the families and the single women at the Star of Hope on September 25, from 8 to 5. Like last time we will set up four studios for families, one for the singles and a retouching lab.
We will need 10 people in the studios and 10 in the retouching lab plus some people to guide the families and run memory cards back and forth between the studios and the retouchers. We need some retouchers that can/will work from home to test the remote retouching plan to be used at Fort Hood.
The plan is to set up on Friday afternoon starting at 3PM so we are ready to go on Saturday morning.
This not only giving back to the people in our city but it is great training and a practice session for Fort Hood.
The Star of Hope Family Center is at 2575 Reed Rd, Houston, TX 77051. This is one block west of 288 South on Reed Road. You will sign in at the administrative offices and then come to the photography area.
We need people that are familiar with Black women’s make-up and/or hair to help them get ready for the portraits. Remember if these people had anything at all they would not be at Star of Hope. I have tried a few beauticians and make-up artist with no results. Nonprofessional people that know about make-up and hair would be a big help to the women we will be photographing. We are happy to pay for the materials. Please ask around as you never know who will step up to the plate.

Fort Hood Headshots Day - 2021
2021-06-16 | Fort Hood, Bldg. 121 and, 761st Tank Battalion Ave, Fort Hood, TX 76544, Killeen, TX, 76544, United States
On June 16th, 10 of us went to Fort Hood to make head shots for servicemembers. We ran three studios and had over 100 sittings for servicemembers. In addition, headshots of the USO staff were made. Thanks to all who went. It was once again a rewarding experience.
