March 18, 2026 Meeting – “Your Eleven Senses – Use Them For Better Images” by Hank Erdman

The premise of this presentation is that we do that largely by relying on our five human senses through which we experience versus just see.
We can push that experience toward a more creative response through what I’ve identified as our six artistic senses.  We can use those sensory perceptions to find subject matter and to help us compose images.

Hank Erdmann is an artist, a professional natural history photographer and photographic educator who resides in Will County, Illinois.  He has photographed throughout North America, making the Midwest his primary geographic area of interest.  A love of history, especially the maritime history of the Great Lakes, kindles a special interest in the ports, shorelines, islands and natural areas of Lakes Michigan and Superior and their surrounding environs. Midwestern prairies and hardwood forests are other primary areas of interest. 

Join us on Wednesday, March 18 at 7:30 for this presentation.
