"A very enjoyable presentation that not only showcased Alvin's work but his sense of humour and his love of photography." IACC Member
On  January 11, 2018, IACC members enjoyed a unique members showcase presentation titled "Complexity or Clutter in the Image" by Club Honorary Member Alvin Baragar.

Alvin explained through his series of photographs, what he meant by complexity in a photograph. For example, his photographs showed a variety of shapes and leading lines that did not contribute to the overall image.

Alvin explained how by reducing the clutter in a photograph, you can improve the overall image. He directed the members to focus on area's of the photograph to improve the images.

Thanks Alvin for a great presentation. You provided the members with an insight to help refocus and rethink their photographs to make them less complex.



"It was an honour to listen to Alvin's Member Showcase. It is so nice to have one of our long-standing members share his work that focuses on the impact of 'simpler' images." IACC Member
Introduction of Alvin, by Carol Rusinek
"Alvin grew up on a farm near Elm Creek, Manitoba, and from there moved on to study at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, where he was awarded a PhD in Theoretical Physics. He then moved to Alberta and was a member of the University of Alberta Mathematics department for 34 years.

In retirement, Alvin became an administrator and player in tournament bridge, and he also pursued his talent as a wood turner and small furniture builder. He also enjoys writing poetry, short stories and essays.

It was in 1965 that Alvin became interested in photography. He joined IACC in mid-1990 and is a valued Honorary Member of our Club. Welcome Alvin Baragar for his presentation, Complexity."
