January Featured Speaker: Parker J. Pfister

We are delighted to host Parker J. Pfister as our featured speaker (via Zoom), on Monday, January 16 at 7:00 pm. (Members should already have their Zoom credentials via email. Non-members may request a guest pass by contacting the President.) Here’s a short into, from Parker’s website:

“I have come to know the 5 archetypes that reside within me and lead me to creating thought provoking imagery. I believe that knowing these 5 archetypes well is the way we can find deeper meaning, be more thoughtful, creative, and technically capable with the images we create. Allow me to introduce you to these 5 very important pieces of the artistic puzzle.

The Dreamer. The Architect. The Technician. The Magician The Zen Master

They arrive in a different order for different people. After teaching for over 20 years now, I notice that most photographers struggle with The Technician in one way or another. The Technician usually shows up first on the scene and won’t allow the other archetypes to speak. You can be a technical wizard but still produce unfulfilled imagery. Or, maybe your Technician struggles, but the other archetypes are clear, leaving you again with unfulfilled imagery. It is the harmony found in these 5 archetypes that I believe can launch you and your art into an epic revival.”
