It’s a Dallas delight how crepe myrtles burst into bloom each July, like fireworks painted by nature. Their vibrant shades of pink, red, lavender, and white brighten our landscapes and remind us it's summer. What better photography subject than crepe myrtles in full bloom?
Speaking of photography, July also brings one of our most cherished holidays and photography subjects: the Fourth of July. Here in our region, the festivities stretch across several days leading up to the 4th, as fireworks light up the skies and communities come together to celebrate.
And for our club, the fun doesn’t stop there.
For those aviation enthusiasts, we have arranged to meet on Saturday, July 12th, at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Dallas Love Field. We’ll enter at 9 AM, an hour before the public, giving us a unique opportunity to explore the exhibit with fewer crowds. Don’t miss the powerful “Aerials” exhibition curated by retired USAF Master Sgt. Jeremy Lock, an acclaimed combat photographer recognized seven times as the best in the field. Through his exhibit, you’ll journey from the Vietnam era to modern-day aviation.
Join us on July 17th for our monthly meeting and an inspiring evening with professional photographer Kim Leeson. Kim’s work has been published in PEOPLE Magazine, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Formerly a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News, Kim is an accomplished nature photographer. She will share her journey and insight into intimately capturing the natural world.
If you’re fascinated by the intricate beauty of succulents, don’t miss the training session at 6 PM in the library with our very own Irwin Lightstone. A master of Cacti and Macro photography, Irwin will offer techniques and inspiration in capturing these remarkable plants.
This month, take time to enjoy the summer, surrounded by color, community, and creativity. Whether it's enjoying and photographing crepe myrtles, fireworks with friends, or learning from talented photographers, there's so much to explore and celebrate.
We hope to see you soon, camera in hand, ready to capture the magic.
