Photographs offer a window into new and unusual worlds – and the Burnaby Photographic Society wants to take you on a journey to all those worlds.
The society is holding its 20th annual showcase on Saturday, Feb. 6, with a week-long print display leading up to the event.
The print display, which starts Jan. 31, will be set up in the lobby of the Shadbolt Centre and will feature a wide range of work by members of the group.
The Burnaby Photographic Society was founded in 1970 by a group of amateur photography enthusiasts. Today’s group includes mainly amateur photographers, along with a few professionals, who gather on Mondays at the Shadbolt Centre to talk about photography, view and critique work, learn from guest speakers and enjoy outings to various locations for photography.
For the anniversary showcase, members have put together a variety of slide shows, set to music, of photography that runs the gamut from landscape to travel photos and more. A press release promises the shows will “sweep you off to exotic places and cultures, and bring you up close to wildlife, fine art and visual surprises.”
It’s set to happen on Saturday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. in the James Cowan Theatre at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave.
Tickets for the showcase are $18, and anyone interested in attending is encouraged to book early, as the showcase consistently attracts more than 200 attendees. Contact Chris Ostenstad at [email protected], call 604-351-9499 or see www.burnabyphotographicsociety.com.
