Susan Bein Headlines April Membership Meeting On Zoom (7pm PST 4/14/21)

This just in from PPF President Doug Rundle:
At the General Membership Meeting at 7 pm on Monday, April 19, Susan Bein will discuss her images made during the pandemic between March 2020 and March 2021. All of the images were made in Portland, using an iPhone.

Susan Bein began photographing as a teen because she couldn’t draw what she could see in her mind’s eye. She took classes from Ansel Adams, Minor White, Aaron Siskind and Paul Caponigro, using black and white film and large format cameras.

After majoring in photography in college and teaching it she eventually became a graphic designer. When digital cameras came out their immediacy re-awakened her photographic muse, and when iPhones came out she fell in love with them as a creative tool. She photographs every day.

Susan has taught photography, iPhone photography and Photoshop for decades. She currently teaches remotely. She posts new work daily on Instagram and Flickr.

You should already have your Zoom credentials for this meeting in your email newsletter from the Forum. If not, please let the President know.
