Competition: Our second 2025 competition will be held during our June 26th meeting. The themes for this competition are Nature and Street photography. We also will have a category for the John Fielder Award. John Fielder was an American landscape photographer, nature writer, the publisher of over 40 books, and a conservationist. He was nationally known for his landscape photography with many of his photos taken here in Colorado. Before he passed away, John Fielder donated more than 7,000 images to History Colorado. Photos vying for this award should be in the style of photographs that he took. The judge for this competition will be announced later. The cost is $2 per entry and there is no limit on the number of entries. You must be present to enter. Thank you to all of you that entered our competition in April!
