     Committee Chair reports
     Program:   Wildlife Photographer Carol DiQuilio

Speaker: Carol DiQuilio

Wildlife Whisperer Carol DiQuilio, who was scheduled to present in 2020, will share an array of her intimate images of wildlife. Carol’s wildlife photography has an intimacy as if she has a personal relationship with each of the subjects she shoots.

Whether a it’s a cedar waxwing balancing a berry in its beak, squirrels embracing, a fox stopping for a pose that speaks of mutual acknowledgment and understanding, or Great Horned owlets peeking out of their bucket nest for a big howdy to the world, Carol has a special relationship with wildlife that is revealed in her large portfolio of images and stories.

At the February PODS meeting Carol will share her stories and techniques for capturing wildlife. She will also talk about how she has created a market for her images and how the process is unfolding, challenges and rewards to staying the course.

We will not be meeting in person this month due to the COVID-19 surge. We will be offering a Zoom meeting to our members. We hope to start our in person meetings again in February.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: This is an update from the PODS Executive Board on the coronavirus situation. In an effort to minimize the potential spread of the coronavirus and support social distancing, the PODS Monthly Meeting scheduled for May 28th has been cancelled. We are taking this step because of our commitment to keep the health and safety of our members as well as the general public at the forefront of our actions in this rapidly changing situation. We believe limiting in-person events and meetings is a prudent step at this time based on the latest guidelines from government agencies and health officials.
