PODS Annual Show and Reception- December 03-10, 2017

The artistic talents of Dripping Springs will be on display in photographic form this month from the 3rd of December through the 10th at the Acopon Brewing Company on Mercer Street, where the Photographers of Dripping Springs (PODS) are presenting their annual show.

The opening of the show will be celebrated with the artists on the afternoon of Sunday the 3rd, from 4 pm to 6 pm at the Acopon Brewing Company on Mercer Street. Come enjoy the art along with Acopon’s craft brews and conversation at this reception, or stop by Acopon through the following week to enjoy their art.

This year’s show spans the work of twenty-five local artists, as selected by judge Amanda Smith. She is director of the A Smith Gallery in Johnson City, where she promotes the photographic arts through exhibitions, workshops and the facilitating of an active vibrant community of photographers. The show is the largest one to date from the Photographers of Dripping Springs. The genres represented cover a wide spectrum, from nature and landscapes, to portraits and even architecture.

With their motto “Keepin’ Drippin’ Clickin’”, the Photographers of Dripping Springs have been very dynamic, from 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

 

PODS November Meeting- November 15, 2017 7:00pm **Note Date and Time**

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, PODS will hold the November meeting one week (and one day) early. The meeting will be next week – Wednesday, November 15th at 7:00pm at the Holy Spirit Episcopal Church (Parish Hall) located at 301 Hays Country Acres Rd in Dripping Springs, Texas. We will be hosting a photography “show and tell” this month with our members and guests bringing in their favorite piece of photography equipment. Anyone who would like to get up and talk about their equipment will be able to do so and we will allow time for everyone to get a chance to ask questions and see the gear. At the end of the meeting we will also have a swap meet so that anyone that’s looking to sell, trade or buy used (or new) equipment can do so at that time. We’ve done this Show & Tell/Swap Meet several times in the past and it’s always been so much fun! So don’t miss out- mark your calendars now!
