November Theme - ‘God’
The next Camera Club will be on Thursday 1st November, at 6.30pm.
The theme this month is “God”.
David Hurn in his book ‘On Being a Photographer’ says: ” You can safely eliminate such fascinating (to you) topics as existential philosophy or the Old Testament, or the existence of intelligent life on other planets.”
That sounds like a challenge to us, so we thought we’d stretch you a little!
Is God important to you? Or not? What is god and where does he/she exist for you? In the home or community - is god personal or communal and how is their presence manifested?
God can be the basis for political activity, interpreted as an ideological, sexual or domestic entity - how does the way you believe influence the way you live, and the way you see?
However you choose to approach the theme, you should try to consider how the audience will read your image(s), and whether you will be including them or isolating them.
As usual, create a single stand-alone image or a series of photographs, (in colour or black & white) to be presented in printed format.
Speaker was Liz Hingley
