Architectural Photographer Jerry Rabinowitz
On Thursday July 2nd, 2009 architectural photographer Jerry Rabinowitz will be our guest speaker!
Jerry Rabinowitz has been a professional photographer for almost 30 years, and specializes in architecture and architectural based themes. His clients include national and regional magazines, corporate and advertising clientele. Jerry was a large format photographer for many years, but Jerry’s workflow has since become 100% digital. Jerry was president of ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers) in New Mexico, and lectured for Fujifilm. He now teaches lighting at Palm Beach Photographic Centre.
As a photographer, I always wonder why I shoot what I do, says Jerry. At the meeting Jerry will explore the process involved in image creation. Jerry states that “in the digital world megapixels, algorithms and workflow seem to rule”, and ask “Does the technical dominate or is the image the destination?” Jerry will also discuss architectural photography, as well as a look at the decision process in photography.
Jerry has been working on a few personal projects and will be showing us those images and telling us the stories behind them. Jerry will be taking questions and discuaaing the ups and downs of being a working professional photographer.

Scott Kelby’s Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk
On Saturday, July 18th at 9:00 am we will be meeting in downtown Fort Lauderdale along Las Olas Blvd. for Scott Kelby’s Second Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. A Photowalk is the act of walking around with your camera and photographing your surroundings. Recently the term has become synonymous with a group of photographers (professional or amateur), with big or smaller cameras, walking in predetermined locations and then sharing their imagery. Alone or with a group, the purpose is still the same and that is to go out and shoot.
This Photowalk is being lead by South Florida Camera Club member Paulo Jordao. Many people will be attending this event including people that are not members of our awesome club. This will be a great opportunity of us to get out and photograph together and socialize with people that have the same passion we do.
We will be meeting at the Starbucks @ 350 E. Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. If you have any questions about this event you can contact Paulo at email: paulopics {at} comcast(.)net or cell: 954-270-0751.
