Darwin is a Maryland-based photographer originally from Southern California. His work explores the meeting points between people\, the built environment\, and the natural world\, with particular attention to landscapes shaped by water. His current project\, Where the Water Waits\, is an ongoing photographic portrait of the Chesapeake Bay assembled through extensive travel across Maryland and Virginia. Green works professionally as a licensed clinical professional counselor and is a single father.  \nWhere the Water Waits is an ongoing photographic portrait of the Chesapeake Bay and the lives\, structures\, and systems gathered along its edges. After making Maryland his home\, Darwin Green was inspired to explore the Bay and develop a deeper understanding of the environment surrounding him. He has since traveled to nearly 100 locations across Maryland and Virginia\, photographing watermen\, waterfront communities\, wildlife\, industry\, architecture\, and the changing relationship between land and water. \nThe project is organized into four overlapping themes: People\, Structures\, Systems\, and Seascapes.  It is envisioned as a set of four interconnected fine-art books. In this presentation\, Green will discuss how the project developed from a travel-photography assignment into a sustained study of the Chesapeake\, the planning and equipment used in the field\, and the challenge of shaping hundreds of photographs into a cohesive body of work. \n  URL:https://arundelcameraclub.org/event/20261015-program-darwin-green-chesapeake-bay-photobook/ LOCATION:Severna Park Baptist Church\, 506 Benfield Rd\, Severna Park\, MD\, 21146\, United States CATEGORIES:Meeting,Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://arundelcameraclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/20261015-program-darwin-green-where-the-water-waits-r.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Christine Milleker":MAILTO:cwiddy@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261009T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261009T160000 DTSTAMP:20261015T114845Z CREATED:20260723T192304Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261015T114845Z UID:128253-1791550800-1791561600@arundelcameraclub.org SUMMARY:Field Trip - Frederick Walking Tour DESCRIPTION:Stroll down Frederick main street past the Carroll Creek waterway and pedestrian bridges.

Our goal is to encourage creativity and help everyone leave having learned something new. Honest feedback is welcome; harsh or disrespectful criticism is not. \nEach photographer will share a photograph of their own and explain what they are trying to do with it. \nClub members will then have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss: \n\nWhat makes the photograph successful\nWhat may distract from its impact or message\nHow the image might be strengthened\nOther creative approaches the photographer could consider\n\nA Talk Leader will guide the conversation\, encourage participation\, and keep the discussion moving. The leader’s role is to facilitate the discussion—not to present the photographs or provide all the comments and critiques. \nWhen the discussion has run its course\, the Talk Leader will move to the next participant. We will rotate through the participants one photograph at a time so that everyone has an opportunity to share. \nIf we have a lot of participants\, photographers will be limited to one photograph each. Time permitting\, we will go through the rotation again for more photographs. Members should be prepared to share up to three digital images. There is no theme\, so anything goes! \nPhoto Talk Night is open to all paid club members in both the Novice and Unlimited categories.  URL:https://arundelcameraclub.org/event/20261006-zoom-photo-talk-critique-night/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Photo Talk Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arundelcameraclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/20261006-photo-talk-critique-night-1024x603-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Ron Peiffer":MAILTO:peifferr@mac.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261001T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261001T210000 DTSTAMP:20260930T144900Z CREATED:20260808T191608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260930T144900Z UID:128358-1790881200-1790888400@arundelcameraclub.org SUMMARY:Program - Judy Hancock Holland: Getting to WOW: 7 Strategies for Photographers (Followed by Campfire) DESCRIPTION:Please join us Thursday October 1st\, 2026 in person at the Severna Park Baptist Church or via FaceBook Live for a program by Judy Hancock Holland titled ” Getting to WOW: 7 Strategies for Photographers.” \nYou’ve been making photos for a while now and you’ve got the basics down pat.

DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday photography. Lightroom\, Photoshop\, Nik\, Topaz\, and other applications now use AI for everything from noise reduction and sharpening to masking\, object removal\, Generative Fill\, and even creating entirely new image content. \nSo where should we draw the line for Arundel Camera Club contests? \nJoin us for an open discussion about the use of AI in photography and how it should apply to ACC contest images. We’ll review our current contest rules\, discuss AI guidelines\, and time permitting look at real-world examples of what should and should not be permitted. \nOur proposed guiding principle is simple: AI may help you process what you photographed. AI should not create what you did not photograph. \nLike many aspects of camera club competition\, our AI guidelines ultimately depend on the honor system. We are not looking to police members’ editing workflows or examine every image to determine which tools may have been used. \nWhen you enter an ACC contest\, you are representing that your image complies with the contest rules. Each photographer is responsible for understanding the tools they use and determining whether their processing is consistent with those rules. \nTechnology is changing quickly\, and we want our contest guidelines to reflect the views of our members while preserving photographic authorship and the integrity of our competitions. \nBring your questions\, examples\, and opinions. This is a discussion\, and we want to hear from you. \nThe Zoom link will be sent out prior to the meeting.

We will need helpers to receive and sort the entries\, as well as hang them on the exhibit walls (September 7th & 8th). During the fair\, September 10th through September the 14th we will need enthusiastic club members to be on hand to discuss the club with interested parties and hand out flyers and business cards. On Monday September 15th we could use help with the pickup of photographs and ribbons. \nIf you can help out we really appreciate it\, please let John know which day/days and times you may be able to cover. Last year\, the fair waived the entry fees for our volunteers. John\, or one of the other club officers\, will be on site for the receiving and pickup dates as well as the majority of the fair opening dates as well.

This party deck has a cover with tables and chairs and is wheelchair accessible. The Baysox Party Decks are the perfect location to host your group event! The Party Decks give you and your group all of the sounds and smells of being outdoors at the ballpark from the privacy of your exclusive open-air suite.  \nParking is free.  \nFireworks are after the game.  \nThere is a circus theme and a children’s playground.  \nPolicies: No outside food and drinks. No cameras with lenses that fully extend to larger than 12″.  You can carry a camera around your neck or in your hands without the case. Small clutch purses\, with or without a handle or strap\, are permitted along with either the 12″ x 6″ x 12″ clear tote bag or the one-gallon freezer bag. No buckles\, grommets/hardware\, or decor can be concealing any part of the bag. This should enable you to carry essential items into the ballpark as you have been able to in previous seasons. \nThank you for a great response – this will be fun and an opportunity for some action shots.
