Ron Pfeiffer will judge the Monochrome Photography competition on May 9.  Ron is a Baltimore area photographer who has been active as a camera enthusiast for decades. Ron’s lifelong interest in photography began with his family’s ancient box camera in the 1950’s. In the past decade, Ron has gotten more engaged in art photography. The Arundel Camera Club in Severna Park, Maryland has been a competitive, yet nurturing photography “home” for him. Ron achieved Photographer of the Year in 2017 for work in color and monochrome prints and digital images.

Ron has been photographing people and places for decades, but continues to learn more about the art and the technology of photography. Over the past decade, Ron has traveled often to the Southwest and has captured some of the desert magic and the history. However, a lot of additional travel has been up and down the East Coast. He has been enjoying the scenery through the lens. Ron maintains his website as a way to document his travel photography as well as his photo whims and fancies. Ron is a member of the Executive Council of the Maryland Photography Alliance and has recently completed the MPA Photo Judging Training Program.
