Star Island Retreat - Now is the Time to Register
September 6-9, 2018
If you plan to attend please register ASAP, so that we can make appropriate plans based on the group's size.
Register at http://starisland.org/program/nhspa/
We want active participants and we welcome anyone to make a short presentation on anything photography related. Email your ideas to petererandall@gmail.com or joemazzaglia@gmail.com.
Roger Goun will be our guest photographer this year and a “focus” of our program will be black and white photography. Roger’s specialty is black and white digital, and many other members also work in monotone, for example Bev Conway, David Speltz, Ken Kartes, Carol Van Loon, and Jay Goldsmith. We’ll have printers and plenty of paper for participants to make prints. If you haven’t worked in black and white this a great opportunity to experiment and talk with others who specialize in monotone.
Another consummate black and white film photographer is Gary Samson, one of NHSPAs’s founding members. Gary has been working on a long-term project of photographing the nude and he will be presenting a special program on this subject for our retreat. Gary will discuss how he finds models, how he approaches a shoot, and how he edits his images. He will show lots of examples of his work.

NHSPA 2019 Exeter Show Potential Issue
(from Carol VanLoon, Exeter Show chair)
Not sure if everyone is aware of the turmoil that has played out concerning the Exeter Arts Committee and the Town of Exeter. Most of the committee has resigned and we are unsure at this time if the request for the gallery (which I submited Jan 2018) will be honored in 2019. Christy Utter has been in contact with the town and Karen Desrosiers a NHSPA member and member of the Exeter Arts Committee, hopefully things can be worked out.
David Speltz has volunteered the Camera Commons galleries if the gallery in Exeter is unavailable in January.
I hope to have more to report in the coming months.
I'd also like to share this Call for Art from NHAA:

Christy Utter Sacred Destinations Show a NHAA Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery
July 4-30, Opening Reception, July 6, 2018. 5-8pm
Ancient architecture has been a source of artistic inspiration to me for as long as I can remember. Some of these structures are now in a kind of romantic ruin, but others look exactly as they did centuries ago. I seek out these sacred places in my travels and have never been disappointed.
The photographs in this collection were created with several different photographic methods:
* 19th Century Platinum/Palladium Handmade Process.
* Zero Image Pinhole Camera, Film Capture
* Canon Digital SLR
