Special Guest for May 17 Meeting

You'll want to join us for the May 17 Camera Club Meeting.  Sam Bass will be presenting photos and telling stories from his time as a war correspondant in Vietnam.  His presentation "From Pigs and Chickens to the Flight Deck Ballet: Vietnam 1967 - 1970" is based primarily on the photography he made in support of the unclassified stories he produced both in-country as well as off-shore with the Navy during that period. 

Sam is an International Award-Winning Vietnam-era Combat Photojournalist.  He is a former Navy Chief and international award-winning combat photojournalist.  In 1972, Sam was selected Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association, the University of Missouri School of Journalism and the U.S. Defense Department based primarily on his Vietnam photoworks. His photoworks have been described as stunning and provocative, images that challenge the viewer with one stimulating visual experience after another.

We will be meeting at the Eastman Lodge in Room A1 starting at 6:00 PM.
