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 the 21st of May, beginning at 4:00pm at Hudson’s on Mercer, a hub for performance arts in the town. Stop by

PODS May Meeting – May 26, 2016 at 6:30pm
The PODS May meeting will be held on Thursday May 26th starting at 6:30pm at the Holy Spirit Episcopal Church In Dripping Springs. Our guest speaker will be our very own Dave Wilson. Dave will be speaking about motor racing photography.
Dave Wilson’s wife thought she was on to a good thing when she married a Scottish guy whose only sporting passion was Formula 1 motor racing. What chance was there that something as strictly European as that would appear in Austin and entice him to spend weekends at a race track? Now after 4 years of the United States Grand Prix at our shiny, new Circuit of the Americas, she’s come to terms with losing her husband several weekends a year for F1 and the other great world racing series that come to Texas.
With 4 years of motor racing photography under his belt, Dave will discuss technique and equipment needed to shoot fast-moving cars and motorcycles, and will also “walk” you around Circuit of the Americas pointing out the best shooting locations for the majority of us unfortunate enough to be outside the fences.
