An Overview of Photo Essay 2019

Photo essays are mini-movies – they tell stories using a combination of visual and musical media.

The NBCC essay show presents a wide variety of topical essays, encompassing travel, street photography, landscapes, wildlife, portraiture, night photography, sports, dance, special techniques (e.g., infra-red, black and white, macro-photography, etc.), and special interests. The essays vary widely in each show, and from year-to-year.

At the risk of losing the element of surprise, here is a sampling of the essays in the 2019 show.

Travel:

•  The Romantic Road (Bavaria, Germany)
• Visit to a Souk (Morocco)
• The Loboten Islands in Norway
• A Russian Odyssey
• Traditional Japan
• Walking the Camino (Spain)
• The Mt. Hagen Sing-Sing (Papua New Guinea)

Nature and Wildlife:

• Snow Monkeys (Japan)
• Utah Landscapes
• Yellowstone in Winter
• Birds, Beautiful Birds
• Wild Alaska

Politics, Culture and Art:

• Enough – The March for Our Lives
• Steppin Out

These essays, and others, will delight you, entertain you, and perhaps motivate you to develop your own photo essays for presentation to family, friends and colleagues, and maybe for posting, as videos, on the internet. Please make sure this once-a-year event is on your calendar and come early to ensure good seating! Previous shows have nearly filled the auditorium.
