Next Meeting: Thursday, August 13
Topic: Mountain Folk: Traditional Ways Of Life In Appalachia
Speaker: Joe Young
What got me into photography over twenty years ago was the search of traditional ways of life like I experienced with my grandparents growing up in rural North Carolina. I witnessed one of the last generations of farmers who were self-sufficient and lived like their forefathers did. I have strived to capture what I could find in hopes to preserve the rich heritage of North Carolina.
