Special to The PREVIEW

The Pagosa Springs Photography Club will hold its regular monthly meeting Wednesday evening, Aug. 12, at the Pagosa Lodge (formerly Quality Resort, 3505 E. U.S. 160).

Join us for socializing at 6 p.m. (drinks and appetizers are available for purchase), followed by the program and short business meeting at 6:30 p.m.

The Photography Club will continue to meet at the Pagosa Lodge at 6 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month all year.

The August Photography Club meeting will be presented by club member Bill Woggon Jr. He is the son of internationally famous comic book cartoonist Bill Woggon, the creator of “Katy Keene.”

The younger Woggon worked for his father and was an art major in college. It was in the early ’60s that he purchased his first camera, a 35mm Pentax MX, and photography became his pen and brush and the focus of his art.

His presentation is entitled “… shooting great pictures without being intimidated by the technical aspects of your camera.”

Members are also encouraged to bring 10-15 photographs on a flash drive or CD for review and discussion following the program, as time permits.

Photography enthusiasts of all levels of ability are invited to attend club meetings at no charge for the first meeting. If interested, you are invited to join for annual dues of $25 for individuals, $35 for a family membership and $10 for a student membership.

For more information concerning the meeting, contact Jean Moats at 507-1017, Steve Merchant at 264-1226 or TJ Reynolds at 731-9581.
