https://lglc.org/hike/amys-park/ - JOE MCNALLY An Uncertain Journey Zoom MeetingLink visible for attendees
Zoom Presentation by Nikon Ambassador Joe McNally
Many years ago, an older photographer took me aside and told me that if I was to pursue photography as a career, I would have to “make uncertainty my friend.” I don’t think I’ve ever received a truer piece of advice.
Going forth into the world with a camera, even casually, is always an uncertain venture. We operate at the whims of the world. Weather, light, travel, timing, subject matter can, at any time, veer precipitously in and out of our favor. The things we fall back on are the ongoing passion to make pictures, a relentless sense of curiosity, an embrace of difference, and a willingness to pursue a photo, almost no matter where that pursuit leads. I have often said, being a photographer in the field can mean stepping onto the boat without having a clue as to where that boat will be going. We abandon the normal patterns of our own lives to tell the stories of other lives.
During this talk Nikon Ambassador Joe McNally will offer up pictures and stories, successes and failures, from a life behind the lens that has now spanned 45 years and over 70 countries and is ongoing. Ever candid and often humorous, he will show images from cover stories for LIFE and National Geographic, four Olympic coverages, intimate portraits and large-scale production work, answering questions along the way. It will be a lively, colorful lecture!You MUST register in advance for this meeting
