Flagpole Photographers in the News

Newtown Bee - February 28
Top Of The Mountain Column

"Well this is fun. I found out just a few days ago that Sports Editor Andy Hutchison will be the guest speaker on April 10 for Flagpole Photographers Camera Club! His topic will be action photography, which is perfect for him. If there’s anyone who knows about capturing movement in photos, it’s a sports photographer. Anyone who has seen Andy’s work knows how good he is at capturing athletes in all conditions — in gymnasiums, swimming pools, and all weather from sunny and bright to cloudy, overcast and even under darkened skies. Andy’s presentation for the local photography club will be another hybrid offering by Flagpole Photographers, so you can join them in person at Newtown Senior Center that night or watch online from the place of your choice. Watch our calendars for listings, and the Enjoy pages for a press release. If you’d like to learn more about the club and other upcoming events, visit flagpolephotographers.com."
