Steve’s imagery seeks to convey the deep connection he has with
Cape Cod, a place he and his family have cherished for over 30 years.
A Brewster resident, Steve is the owner of EXPRESSIONS Gallery (www.expressionsgallery.com),
opening in Chatham center in spring 2021. Steve donates proceeds
from the sale of his work to the EDI Institute and to the Association
to Preserve Cape Cod. Steve has published two books, The Brewster
Flats and The Cape Cod National Seashore, collections of emotive
images chronicling the extraordinary visual spectacles that occur
in these ever-changing landscapes. Steve’s photography is
on the walls of several Boston area hospitals and businesses, including
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, and
The Flatley Company.

“Photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” Elliott Erwitt

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”
I hope all members had a good summer with lots of great photographs
that you will submit for the NECCC and PSA competitions this year.
There are some changes for the competitions in this new season,
the most important one is the bigger size of the images we can now
submit.
Please read the changes below and start preparing your images. For
NECCC and PSA competitions, images can now be 1400 pixels in the
horizontal direction and 1050 pixels in the vertical direction.
Photographs must fit within those dimensions.
Unless your photograph’s
proportions are in the exact ratio of 4 to 3, one of these dimensions
will be less than the maximum. For example, if you have a vertical
photograph, the height will be 1050 pixels, but the width will be
significantly less than 1400 pixels. A square photograph will be
1050 pixels by 1050 pixels under these rules. It is suggested (though
not a requirement) that entries be saved with the proper amount
of compression so that the file size does not exceed 800-1000 KB.
If saving from Photoshop, a quality setting of between 7 and 9 is
usually sufficient to produce a high quality file. Keeping the file
size small makes e-mailing and handling easier. It is strongly suggested
that all photographs be converted to the sRGB color space. That
color space most closely approximates the capability of monitors
and projectors to display color and usually results in the best
presentation of your image.
By entering these competitions you give NECCC/PSA permission to
reproduce your photographs in connection with the activities and
publicity of the NECCC/PSA including display on the NECCC/PSA Internet
site. The copyright, however, remains with the photographer and
the photographer will receive credit when his/her photograph is
used. If you object to this stipulation, please do not enter your
photographs.
Once a photograph has been entered by the Housatonic Camera Club
into a NECCC Interclub Competition (either pictorial or nature),
it may never be entered again. Entering a photograph into the NECCC
pictorial category means it may never be entered in the NECCC nature
category; also, a photograph entered in the NECCC nature category
may never be entered in the NECCC pictorial category. (Note: This
rule is for photographs the Housatonic Camera Club sends out to
the NECCC competitions, not for the in-house club competition.)
Photographs entered by the Housatonic Camera Club in the NECCC competition,
can be also entered in the PSA competition.
