PODS 2016 Spring Digital Show- May 21st to May 27th

Mark your calendars for the PODS Spring Show – May 21st to May 27th at Hudson’s on Mercer (http://www.hudsonsonmercer.com/)
The artistic talents of Dripping Springs will be on display in photographic form this month from the 21st through the 27th at Hudson’s on Mercer, where the Photographers of Dripping Springs are presenting their annual digital show themed “In and Around Dripping Springs”.
This year’s show spans the work of thirteen artists, as selected by judge Rama Tiru of Austin. An adjunct professor at Austin Community College, Ms. Tiru is the artist and author of the coffee table book Austin: East of I-35. She has chosen the finest photos from the Club’s members, representing a variety of different styles and techniques.
The selected photographs include landscapes, portraits, nature, abstract images, and more. Chosen for special recognition in the show are Dave Wilson, Michael Penn Smith, Pamela Ward, and Winifred Smith. Along with the contributions from the rest of the club, this exhibition aims to showcase the flavor and experience of our beautiful community.
With their motto “Keepin’ Drippin’ Clickin’”, the Photographers of Dripping Springs have been very dynamic, from monthly field trips to workshops, and serving as the city’s official photographers for its many publications. The membership is active and always developing, as the growing quality and diversity of the works selected to show gives testament. Members range from enthusiastic hobbyists to published professionals, and the works on display employ everything from expensive SLR cameras all the way to an iPhone, so there’s a place for anyone with a passionate eye.
The opening of the show will be celebrated with the artists on the afternoon of Saturday May 21st, beginning at 4:00pm at Hudson’s on Mercer, a hub for performance arts in the town. Stop by through the following Friday to enjoy this fine art exhibit as well.
