OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The Great Plains Nature Photographers annual meeting will be from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18, in Craig Community Auditorium at Johnson County Community College. The meeting, open to the public, features programs by world renowned photographer George Lepp.
Lepp, Colorado Springs, is one of North America’s best-known contemporary outdoor and nature photographers and a leader in the rapidly advancing field of digital imaging. He is the author of many books and the field editor of both PC Photo and Outdoor Photographer magazine. He was chosen by Canon USA as one of the first members of its Explorers of Light and Printmasters programs, which feature the industry’s most influential photographers. A popular lecturer, he is a continuing member of the faculty of Photoshop World, a founding board member of the North American Nature Photographers’ Association, and winner of many awards for his work, including the prestigious Progress Award, the highest given by the Photographic Society of America.
Registration is by mail with forms available to download online at www.gpnp.org.
The fee is $15 per person. Limited registration will be available at the door prior to the meeting. In addition to Lepp’s two presentations, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, there will be the regular business of the organization plus a series of short programs by members.
