The Tides Contemporary Art Gallery is having a grand re-opening in its new location this Friday, and it's featuring an interesting exhibition from one of our former speakers.

"Beginning October 27th, and running until November 24th , Kentville based photographer Colin Chase will feature a very intimate selection of black and white photographs of family and friends called These Hands. As a photographer, he has always been intrigued with what a person’s hands tell about that person. From his Artist’s Statement for the show, he writes: “Hands are the physical tools of the
imagination. They can make our creative thoughts come to life in a physical form. They bring us tactile information from the world around us and let us connect with things most precious. This photographic journey explores many hands of friends and family and is just the beginning…”

The show consists of a series of photographs where the person’s hands are paired with their
portrait. The show represents over twenty people, many local to this area, doing their jobs, enjoying their hobbies, celebrating personal milestones, or just being with the ones they love. It is a reimagining of a well-received show presented over the summer at ViewPoint Gallery in Bedford.

Chase will present an Artist’s talk about the photographs on November 16, 7-8:00pm at Tides Art Gallery, 401-D Main Street, Kentville.

Excited for this! Thursday the 16th at 7pm

It sounds like a cool but pleasant Saturday morning. Any interest in a photowalk at Miner's Marsh at 8:30?

Thanks to everyone who was able to contribute work and make it to this evening's photo review! It would be great if we could have a few more people join in next month again.

As we get into spring, it would be wonderful to have some of those casual group outings we discussed, whether that's just a few of us getting together to head to Miner's Marsh, etc. Please feel free to share any ideas you have or mention them to us so we can share them to the group!

A very neat opportunity for those looking to sharpen their bird and wildlife skills! Club member David Elliott and past guest John Chardine are hosting an immersive gannet photography workshop on an island in Quebec.

It's the last few hours to snap a photo for our January theme, "Technology". Tomorrow, we turn the page to February's theme, "Arrows"

We'll schedule a 'show and tell' Zoom meeting soon! Please submit your entries to the club email as usual.

Thanks very much to everyone for their support in attending this evening's special meeting or selecting a proxy for this important issue.

It was a challenging decision, but the membership of the club has agreed to dissolve KCPC as a formal entity under the Registry of Joint Stocks. While this will bring an end to our monthly meetings, we will continue to come together for outings and more informal opportunities.

We'll have more information soon about matters such as the club's assets. In the meantime, please continue to share and let us know if you have any ideas for the club moving forward.

Thank you!

Your KCPC Executive

Your January challenge is: "Technology"

New toys for Christmas? Items in the garage on a cold, damp day? Vehicles? Get cracking!

Thanks very much to everyone who attended last night's meeting online and in-person! We'll be in touch soon with an update on the special resolution needed to change the format of the club. That vote will take place at our next meeting, online on January 11.

For our next meeting on Wednesday, November 2, we're getting back together at NSCC Kingstec to share tips and tricks. We'd like to feature several member presentations, which can be about a technique or approach you're proficient in, your advice on how to shoot certain subject matter, or how you achieved success on a particular outing.

Usually these presentations are 15-20 minutes, but we're flexible! If you are interested, please let us know.

Thank you!
