Hello fellow photo enthusiasts!
We had our first 2025 BPC meeting in the “Lakeview” room and spent 45 minutes discussing a variety of photography related concepts focusing our discussion on sunrise/sunsets. (See below BPC 1-9-25 Meeting page 2 “meeting notes”), We put the theory behind us and when out and took some sunset pictures. (See page 3 “post meeting note”)
The next step is to produce some pictures and post them to a “Flickr” album for all to review.
For those who have pictures to upload (both Sunset &/or “Juxtaposition” files/pictures) the DropBox link is below:
https://www.dropbox.com/l/AADNxAChdVtP9t9UPMr1Fd2sNtuJwvAvAK4
The upload link is also embedded on page 3 of the meeting document.
The next meeting on Thursday February 6th at 4:30-6 in the members lounge will focus on photographic minimalism - see the meeting and self study documents below. hope you can attend.
As always if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Scott Rothstein.

I have added an additional component to the BPC. In addition to having monthly scheduled meetings (usually including a planned “photo shoot ”), between meetings you will also receive a “self-study activity” document (See the one on JUXTAPOSITION posted below) providing you with a specific photographic topic/concept to practice and enhance your photography skills. My thought is you can share your self-study pictures with the group at upcoming meetings. The process will make more sense when you review the documents.
I have received some feedback that some people may feel intimidated because they are only “casual” photographers and may not have a quality camera. ALL YOU NEED IS TO HAVE A PHONE THAT TAKES PICTURES! Owning a camera is NOT a prerequisite to participating in the BPC!
Over the next six months we will take a journey together and explore different genres and subjects (i.e. sunrise/sunsets; flowers; portraits; landscapes; birds; abstracts; black & white; etc.) as well as introduce ourselves to various compositional aspects of photography (i.e. Juxtaposition; Symmetry & Balance; leading lines; etc.) to help us compose “better” photographs.
Finally, if you know of others (in the Boulders community) who MIGHT be interested in participating in the BPC please invite them.
