He has used this “language of light” for over 60 years to articu-late those thoughts and feelings he is often not able to put into words. \nRoss will share highlights (and images!) of his career\, from his early days as an assistant in an advertising studio to his time with Ansel Adams to his glob-al adventures sharing his knowledge of\, and passion for\, fine art photography. \nHe’ll also paint a picture of the legendary Adams as only someone who worked side-by-side with him can. Using his own personal photographs of Adams working in the field\, in the darkroom and at home\, personal notes and letters from master to apprentice\, and anecdotes and recollections from his nearly six years as Adams’ full-time photographic assistant\, Ross will share his experiences of Adams as an artist\, mentor and friend. \nRoss was integrally involved with Adams’ books\, teaching in Yosemite and the creation of fine prints. He was personally selected by Adams to be the exclusive printer of the Yosemite Special Edition Photograph negatives\, an assignment he has enjoyed for over 50 years! Ross makes each print by hand from Adams’ original negatives using traditional darkroom techniques. \nFollowing his tenure with Adams\, Ross operated a successful commercial photography studio in San Francisco for 12 years\, where he enjoyed work-ing on projects ranging from world-wide campaigns for the Bank of America to landscape murals for the National Park Service. \nRoss relocated to visually captivating Santa Fe in 1993\, where he enjoys pursuing his own art\, teaching\, and writing articles and blogs sharing his vast knowledge of the art and craft of fine art photography. \nAlan is also a consummate and dedicated photographic educator who inspires professionals and ama-teurs alike as they work to realize and refine their photographic voice. \nHis photography hangs in collections\, galleries and museums around the world\, including the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum\, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, Huntington Library and the Center for Creative Photography URL:https://chattanoogaphoto.org/event/alan-ross-life-behind-a-lens/ LOCATION:St\, John United Methodist Church\, 3921 Murray Hills Dr\,\, Chattanooga\, TN\, 37416\, United States CATEGORIES:Meetings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260123T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260123T200000 DTSTAMP:20260504T062850 CREATED:20251231T165259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251231T165259Z UID:7441-1769191200-1769198400@chattanoogaphoto.org SUMMARY:Gallery Reception Blackwell Automotive DESCRIPTION:Join Milton McLain to open the next gallery of PSC club members at Blackwell Automotive.

We’ll look at street photography\, macro\, portraits\, abstract\, and more. For each style\, we’ll check out inspiring examples and hear from members who’ve tried it. What draws you to certain genres? What techniques make them work? What tips can you share? Whether you shoot with a smartphone or a pro camera\, you’ll discover new styles to try and learn from the experience in the room. Come ready to share your thoughts and maybe find your next creative challenge! \n7Pm Be inspired by our guest speaker\, Earl Carter. \nOur speaker for the April 16th club meeting will be Mr. Earl Carter. Now retired\, Earl Carter was a photojournalist for newspapers in the Southeastern United States for 50 years. He is a native of Kingsport\, Tennessee. Mr. Carter has won numerous awards from news organizations for his photography\, including awards from the Tennessee Press Association and The National Press Photographers Association. He is also a former United Press International Photographer of the Year. The topic of Mr. Carter presentation will his book Appalachian Album which he published in 2016 and was the culmination of a 30-year photographic project\, documenting the history of the Southern Appalachian coal mining communities. The book has been described as “A photographic journey through life in the Appalachian region. Visually stunning photographs document lifestyle and culture.” Through his photography Earl Carter moves beyond the cliches attached to these residents of Appalachia to show their strength in their faith\, families and communities in the face of hardship and the challenges of a changing world. He also shows their moments of joy and celebration. As one Appalachian resident says “We’re just like everybody else\, only a little different.” Some of these communities are no longer there\, but they continue to live in the pages and photographs of Earl Carter’s Appalachian Album.
