From the President:
From the President The March 26th critique with Kenny McKeithan was a tremendous success with 25 members in attendance and 28 images critiqued. As he introduced himself and discussed the process, Kenny mentioned that the “Artists” part of our name was evident in the level of artistic achievement he found in the photographs. It was a truly impressive group of images, and he made some excellent suggestions. I have always valued our monthly critiques, and I hope we will see an in person print critique in the near future.

Herb Young Community Center
Lewis Wickes Hine (Sept 26, 1874 - Nov 3, 1940) was an American sociologist and muckracker photographer. His photographs taken during the Progressive Era and Great Depression, captured the result of young children working in harsh conditions, played a role in bringing about the passage of the first child labor laws in the United States.
Barbara Morgan (July 8, 1900 - Aug 17, 1992) was an American photographer best known for her depictions of modern dancers. She was a co-founder of the photography magazine Aperture. Morgan is known in the visual art and dance worlds for penetrating studies of American modern dancers. Morgan's drawings, prints, watercolors and paintings were exhibited widely in California (1920s) and in New York, Philadelphia(1930s).
