First Meeting of 2010

Iredell Photography Club kicked off 2010 with its first meeting of the year on Monday, Jan. 11, with 10 members present. We met in the computer classroom in the MCC Workforce and Technology Building. The business session was brief and included discussion of upcoming exhibit opportunities in Mooresville as well as the Downtown Art Crawl which will be held on Friday, March 13. Club dues run on the calendar year and are now payable. See Club Treasurer Ted Templeton on that.

An excellent program was given by Kevin Speaks and addressed many aspects of our website, including possible changes to update the design and layout of the home page. Several other websites were visited as examples of ideas we may want to adopt. We also discussed reviving the use of this Blog to post news items and photos of club events and activities. Google maps were added to the Meetings page to make us easier to find. And finally, Kevin demonstrated how to create or reply to a topic and post images in the Forum section of the website. Several members made their first posts to the forum during the meeting.

Next meeting will be on Jan. 25, at our regular location in room 19C. See you there.

Run for Excellence '07

When I'm not posting to the club forums, I'm running with my gang, check us out. We are loose affillation of runners that regularly meet at the local YMCA for cardio training. We try to keep each other up-to-date on the latest race announcements.

Show Reminder

Just a reminder that I have some work at the Mooresville Library. The show will run until the end of February. In addition to my photography, there is paintings by Abstract artist Karah Scott.
I hope you all will go down and see the show.
Library hours are Monday thru Thursday 9 - 9 pm; Friday and Saturday 9 - 6 pm; Sunday 2 - 6 pm

Parkway

I recently spent some time on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I drove from Wilkesboro over to Elkin taking in the "Crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains" section of North Carolina. Along the way, I found some pretty unique places.
This is the Brinegar Cabin. Carolyn Brinegar's weaving loom is the oldest one still in use in these mountains and can be seen at the cabin.

November Show

Hello Club and Visitors!
Remind everyone that the November Show Reception is Friday, November 3rd from 7-9 p.m. at the Mooresville Arts Depot.
We would love to have everyone stop by the depot on Friday night to the work by Iredell Photography Club members as well as the Lake Norman Club.
See you all there!

Hutchinson Home with Dogwood

I find myself in the state park based on an enormous rock. Stone Mountain State Park in Roaring Gap, North Carolina. I was out looking for the fall colors and maybe a little exercise. I believe I was a week or two early on this trip. The leaves were still all green for the most part. But this is the only weekend I had open for the color changing.
This is the Hutchinson Homestead with a nice dogwood in full color. Click the picture for a more detailed blog. Comments are welcomed at either site.
