Member Galleries
Ainslie, Jim
Jim has been experiencing the joys of photography since his early teen years. Although slightly saddened at having to give up favorite darkroom techniques, the lure of working with Photoshop has finally won him over to the light side.
Binnema, Calvin
For Calvin, subject matter does not matter. Ultimately, the subject is the photograph itself. His goal is not to depict what he saw, but to convey what he sees. Viewers are encouraged to engage their own imagination and memory and to see what they see.
Currie, Emille
Capturing images in nature has come naturally to Emille for as long as she can recall,
moving from painting and selling some of her works to capturing images on film to being
able to ‘go wild’ with the creative potential of digital imagery – just another perfect
reason to escape the confines of four walls and revel in the magic of nature in locales far and wide.
Emogene, Rae
Emogene's photographic images do not lack direction or purpose. She deliberately combines existing elements and uses
them in an unexpected way. Her intention is to create something entirely new from her surroundings.
Eyben, Vincent
Vincent is energized by the image making process and the pure joy that can be found when an image connects with a viewer.
Urban landscape, people, architecture and the automotive world are among his favorite digital capture themes.
Gortel, Zbigniew W.
Zbigniew, a professor of physics, has been making photographs for over 40 years. "A photograph for me is not a photograph until it is printed." Urban photography is his favorite subject as are landscapes, nature, and people.
Harris, Gerry
Gerry got his first camera at age 9 and learned about processing B&W film in high school in Britain. He shot mainly slide film using rangefinder cameras, Leica being his preferred brand. Gerry joined IACC in 1981.
Holzer, Sheila
Sheila has a basement full of handcrafted black and whites because "I don't see in colour" including some wonderful hand-tinted prints. Much of her work depicts elements of human habitat and endeavor.
Koslowski, Sieg
Sieg finds photography therapeutic: "It rekindles our sense of wonder and refreshes the soul." He enjoys cycling in the river valley with his Nikon D300. "It's a privilege to have unlimited access to the marvellous galleries of God's creation."
Lobay, Derald
Derald has been making images for over 20 years. "I still like to shoot film and can't wait to pick up those rolls I just exposed and lay them across my light table!" Derald records edges - edges of light, edges of ecosystems and edges of seasons.
Mathewson, Mufty
Mufty loves to shoot everything under the sun and sometimes under the moon as well. Mufty joined us way back in 1978 thinking she was "not really a 'camera club' type". In 2007, Mufty became IACC's second Honorary Lifetime Member.
Panaioti, Colette
Colette primarily shoots landscapes, wildlife and macro. She also likes to create composite images either through multiple exposures on film or by combining images in Photoshop.
Rusinek, Carol
Carol finds it very relaxing to be outdoors photographing nature in all aspects. The framing courses she has taken allow her to add the finishing touch to her artwork.
Smith, Bruce
Bruce has been passionate about photography since high school but even moreso in the past 9 years. With nature and landscape at the top of his list, he likes to set the feeling in his images by using HDR or the magical mood of monochrome.
Stanisavljevic, Miriam
Miriam was motivated to buy her first SLR just before visiting the Olympics in 1984. She shoots landscapes, macro and night photographs - "anything but people". Miriam loves to travel and says the best travel companion is one who frequently says "stop the car".
Vanden Born, William
William made his first photos as a teenager with a twin-lens reflex camera. He later acquired a 35mm camera followed by several 35mm SLRs. His earlier B&W work was followed almost exclusively by slide film. Digital has now become the name of the game.
Wirun, Gerry
Gerry made his first portrait at age 7, got his first camera at 13 and completed art/design studies at the U of M. Gerry finds inspiration in nature but will shoot anything - he says every subject is a unique challenge.
