Got the winter blahs? Cure them by spending the Saturday, February 11, at GLPA taking advantage of the photo opportunities (AKA Photo Ops) available to you. There will be still-life setups—regular and black light, Shiv Verma’s polarized light setup, and glassware. For models, there will be two long-haired chihuahuas who love to pose. There will also be a couple of children at various times during the day.

Steve Tierney sent me an e-mail about the programs at the Griffin Museum of Photography. There are several interesting exhibits, presentations that will provide good opportunities to see photographic art in these cold winter days. Spanning several locations, the museum presents a rich collection of photographic art. For a detailed program visit their site and start marking your calendars. Looking ahead, there are more exhibits to come. I wonder if a field trip may be a good idea?
Thanks for the tip Steve.

The Greenhouses at Roger Williams Park is a very nice place to take photographs, however it has been recently learned that there are some restrictions. A PSRI photographer recently found out that a permit is required for professional photographers bringing clients into the greenhouses to photograph. The permit needs to be requested way in advance to the actual shoot. Not only do you need the permit, but it will cost $150 per hour for family and engagement photos and $300 an hour for wedding photographers.
If you are just going to take pictures of the variety of plants in the greenhouse, a permit is not needed. The only fee is the entrance fee which was $3 for adults and $1 for children over 5 years old. According to the attendant at the ticket booth, tripods are allowed. Online information is limited, see the official site.
Happy Shooting!
