SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting – March 2020
DESCRIPTION:Monthly Meeting – March 2020 \nEIC Theme: A Moment in Time \nOne thing that makes photography unique is its ability to freeze a moment in time. As humans\, we see what’s in front of us as a continuing chain of events. The camera\, however\, can stop time from moving forward\, giving us the opportunity to study that fraction of a second. And it’s being able to control those fractions of a second that makes this possible. \nJudge: TBC

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting – November 2019
DESCRIPTION:Monthly Meeting – November 2019 \nEIC Theme: Dominant Colors\n \nIdeally\, a photograph should have one dominant color.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting – February 2019
DESCRIPTION:Print Theme: Open \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease submit up to two images max for the Print competition by recording image names into a competition log to be provided by IPS at the meeting\, in accordance with IPS Competition Rules (including print size and matting guidelines). \nSubmission deadline: Day of the competition\, by 6:15pm (before the speaker’s presentation). \nAll Print images need to be clearly labeled with the photographer’s name\, image name\, and competition class (A or B). \nImages that do not adhere to the competition rules\, are submitted late\, and/or are not matted and labeled properly will be automatically disqualified. \nGuest Speaker/Judge: Frank Van Riper \nFrank Van Riper’s award winning career in journalism began in 1967 on the New York Daily News where for 20 years he served as White House correspondent\, national political correspondent and ultimately Washington Bureau news editor. But he also has been a photographer for as long as he has been a writer and now\, with the publication of his sixth book\, he offers a documentary-cum-memoir about two of the world’s great cities: New York and Paris. \nRecovered Memory: New York and Paris 1960-1980 is a meditation on time and place: before the internet and 24/7 news; when one could visit the Eiffel Tower without seeing police and automatic weapons\, when a ride on the New York subway cost 15 cents\, when the smell of fresh-baked baguettes wafted over nearly every Parisian neighborhood–when the Coney Island parachute ride still thrilled thousands. \nFrank will talk to the IPS members about the ‘Recovered Memory’ book\, the photographs included in it\, and the creation process behind it. \nNote: Copies of Frank’s beautiful and bestselling coffee table hardcover book will be available for purchase ($45\, tax included). Frank will be happy to inscribe the book for IPS members following his presentation. \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting – December 2018
DESCRIPTION:Print Theme: Open \nPlease submit up to two images max for the Print competition by recording image names into a competition log to be provided by IPS at the meeting\, in accordance with IPS Competition Rules (including print size and matting guidelines). \nSubmission deadline: Day of the competition\, by 6:15pm (before the speaker’s presentation). \nAll Print images need to be clearly labeled with the photographer’s name\, image name\, and competition class (A or B). \nImages that do not adhere to the competition rules\, are submitted late\, and/or are not matted and labeled properly will be automatically disqualified. \n  \nGuest Speaker/Judge: Jason Hamacher \nJason Hamacher is the founder and director of Lost Origins Productions and the Lost Origins Gallery. He contributes to the international conversation on Syria with frequent appearances on National Public Radio\, BBC World Service\, Al Jazeera\, Voice of America\, Huffington Post\, Washington Post and the United Nations. \nFrom 2005-2010\, Hamacher was granted unprecedented access to the city of Aleppo\, Syria. He went to document ancient religious traditions and\, inadvertently\, captured the apex of Syria’s modernization before the eruption of civil war. Hamacher’s efforts contribute to the international conversation on Syria with frequent speaking engagements and television\, radio\, and print appearances. He has recently spoken at United Nations Geneva\, Great St. Mary’s Church Cambridge (UK)\,  Armenian Museum and Library of the United States and Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection; and appeared on NPR\, BBC World Service\, Al Jazeera\, Voice of America\, and CBC’s Q. \nHamacher’s combination of photography\, sound\, and personal experience of Syria offers an unparalleled immersion into one of the world’s oldest civilizations. His adventurist spirit\, passion for people\, and love of culture earned him the trust of Syrians across all socio-economic classes. This allowed him to truly capture the essence of the Syrian landscape and its people.  His archive of sound and image was added into the permanent collection at the Library of Congress in early 2018. \nHamacher will speak about his latest exhibition\, 1\,001 Syrian Nights\, and his hopes to confront viewers with simultaneous visions of grandeur and resilience\, not just the destruction so commonly associated with Syria.
