SUMMARY:Photography Club Workshop: How to Create a Photobook
DESCRIPTION:Join Gary Stanford and John O’Donnell of the Great Hollow Photographers Club (GHPC) for a free workshop on “How to Create a Photobook.” Whether your photos are of a trip\, nature\, or treasured moments\, anyone is welcome. Gary and John will focus on defining the objectives for a photobook\, editing and sequencing the photographs\, adding text to the materials\, and selecting an appropriate printer or publisher.  Because audience participation is a large part of the workshop\, attendees are encouraged to bring their own photobooks to show and discuss\, whether in draft form\, printed form\, or just as ideas. \nA resident of Danbury for the past 20 years\, Gary Stanford is a retired Vice President of JP Morgan Chase Bank and a lifelong photographer.  He currently divides his time between his passion for photography\, teaching part time at Henry Abbott Technical HS and ministering at New Hope Baptist church\, Danbury.  In the photographic realm\, Gary is a member of Great Hollow Photographers Club and Candlewood Camera Club. His work can be viewed at his website\, garystanford.zenfolio.com. \nSherman resident John Charles O’Donnell is currently a principal at Atelier VGI\, a Manhattan-based publisher of limited edition\, fine art photobooks (www.AtelierVGI.com).  John has spent decades in the media and publishing industries.  Using his lens name\, John Charles\, he is recognized world-wide for his specialty of teddy bear photographs.  Together with his wife Masumi\, John supervises the One Thousand Bears Project\, a private charity which donates photographs of teddy bears to children’s hospitals and orphanages\, in order to “help people smile.” \nThere is no cost for the workshop\, but seating is limited and advance registration required by emailing GHPhotoC@gmail.com. \nFor more information about Great Hollow Photographers Club\, please visit the GHPC Facebook page: www.facebook.com/GHPClub.
