Shutterbugs to Meet on July 13th

The West Central Georgia Shutterbugs will meet on Tuesday, July 13th at 6:30 p.m. at the Thomaston-Upson Arts Council (TUAC) Gallery and Gift Shop, located on the courthouse square, next to the Ritz Theatre. The program will be a viewing and critiquing of images taken recently by members, including images taken during club-sponsored photo shoots in April and June. During the April event, held at a private garden in Griffin, King Davis and Marcia Edwards practiced taking portraits of a lovely model Marcia had invited, while other members were busy snapping pictures of spring flowers, formal gardens, various sculptures, etc. As always, everyone enjoyed getting better acquainted with each other and having time to talk “shop” with fellow photographers.

The Shutterbugs extend a warm welcome to anyone interested in joining the group and/or in attending the July meeting.

Shutterbugs Annual Photo Shoot

In lieu of a regular meeting in April, the Shutterbugs held their annual photo shoot at a private garden in Griffin, GA. The 21 members present had a wonderful time and captured many beautiful images. While King Davis and Marcia Edwards practiced taking portraits of the lovely model Marcia had invited, other members were busy snapping pictures of the spring flowers, the formal gardens, various sculptures, etc. As always, everyone enjoyed getting better acquainted with each other and having time to talk “shop” with fellow photographers.

Shutterbugs Speak to Local Groups

In recent weeks, Harolyn Castleberry (left) and Melba Brown have accepted invitations to speak to local groups about photography. The above photo was taken the evening they spoke to the Yatesville Lion Club. They've also spoken at a meeting of retired teachers in Upson County. When presenting, they explain a bit about the West Central Georgia Shutterbugs and then show some samples of their photography and provide tips for taking better pictures. They, along with another Shutterbugs member, Gordon Brown, also presented a program for the Upson Historical Society.
