On Tuesday November 18, 2014 I’ll be making a trek north to Pittsfield, Massachusetts to do something a bit different – something I’ve only done once before. \u00a0And that is to judge a photographic competition. \u00a0On that Tuesday evening, I will be the judge for the Berkshire Museum Camera Club<\/a>‘s second digital and print competition of the year – with the subject of trains and railroads<\/strong>. \u00a0I guess I’d be qualified to judge\u00a0that type of subject matter…<\/p>\n

The meeting is open to the public, and will be held at the Berkshire Museum,<\/a> on South Street in Pittsfield starting at 7pm. \u00a0If you’re in the area, come on down and check out the photos with me. \u00a0I’ll be judging and critiquing a number of digital photographs, along with prints in both the color and black & white categories. \u00a0I’m sure there will be some great material to check out, and I’m excited (and a bit nervous) about being able to give honest – and hopefully constructive – criticism to the photographers about their work. \u00a0I’ll be doing a short presentation at the start of the meeting to introduce myself and my work to the members, then will dive into the judging. \u00a0Looks like I will have over 90 minutes to talk about the photos in the contest – and I hope that my comments can help the photographers look at their work in a different light. \u00a0And I’m sure I will draw my own inspiration from the work of these photographers – I’m sure the club has a ton of talent, and I really enjoy looking at the subject through other people’s eyes. \u00a0I hope some of you can make it out into the Berkshires for an evening of photos!<\/p>\n

And as for the title of the blog post…apologies to Pigmeat Markham and\u00a0Sammy Davis Jr. for stealing it from their Laugh-In days… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
