North Bethesda Camera Club Presents
Beyond the Lens: A Photographer’s Journey
April 19, 2015
8:30am-4:30pm
Rosborough Cultural Arts Center
Asbury Methodist Village
Gaithersburg, Maryland
The North Bethesda Camera Club celebrates its 50th birthday in
2015. You are cordially invited to join us on Sunday, April 19, for
a full-day celebration of the past, present, and future of
photography.
Our keynote speaker will be renowned National Geographic
photographer Bruce Dale, who will take us behind the lens and
share the stories behind capturing some of the magazine’s most
stunning cover images. Bruce’s pioneering work has
distinguished him as one of the leading photographers of our
time. One of the first western photographers to visit China, he
has since returned at least a dozen times and worked in over 80
other countries.
For 30 years, Bruce worked exclusively for National Geographic.
His vision and creativity twice earned him the title Magazine
Photographer of the Year as well as White House Photographer
of the Year. In addition to many other awards, one of his
photographs now journeys beyond the solar system on board
NASA's Voyager Spacecraft, as testimony about planet Earth.
Another was selected to grace a U.S. postage stamp.
Besides the sheer glorious beauty he captures, Bruce Dale’s
adaptation of technology to highly complex composition
challenges has always stretched the boundaries of the field. Dale
was the man behind the lens of National Geographic’s famous
centennial issue in 1988 featuring a hologram of planet earth.
His cover photo showing the perspective of a jumbo jet from a
tail-mounted pair of cameras was recently named one of
National Geographic’s “50 Greatest Photographs.”
Bruce Dale’s presentation will feature fantastic photographs and
engaging, inspiring stories. A Q&A period will follow. The day
will also feature a panel discussion about the future of
photography. A complete agenda will be posted prior to the event.
Tickets for this special event are $35, and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Ticket
price includes your seat for the presentations; food (morning coffee and pastries, snack breaks,
and lunch); access to the vendor hall; and a chance to win exciting door prizes.
