Elena was born and raised in Siberia. She holds an PhD in microbiology and biophysics and has worked in research labs her entire career. Elena fell in love with photography as a 6 year old when her father introduced her to the magic of black and white photography. As her interest in photography grew stronger over the years, Elena decided to study photography at the University of TN in Knoxville and received her first certification there.
Elena is a member of PPA and is the proud creator of five merit images (3 photographic open and 2 master artist), and has achieved 20 service merits. She is working towards her PPA Craftsman degree.
Elena has also received numerous awards from the Tennessee Professional Photographers Association (TNPPA) including a Top Ten designation for 2017.
Hello Valued Members
Thank you to our members that attended our last meeting. We elected officers are as follows:
Chairman of the Board: Donna Butler
President: Dorma Tabisz
Treasurer: Sandra Hafford
Executive Secretary: Michael Gustafson
Member at Large: Peggy Weatherington
We still need a Vice-President and Secretary. Please consider filling one of these two spots. You will only get out of this organization what you are willing to put into it. We are in a growing year which is so exciting. These two positions are not very time consuming. I know we all have busy lives, however it is well worth your time investment.
Who went to Imaging? Did you attend any presentations or just the trade show? My personal opinion is that this was one of the best Imaging events of the past few years. There was much hands on in the presentations and the inspiration was stellar!
Where do you go to get your inspiration? Do you follow certain photographers? Do you take online or physical classes? Do you study art? Do you read instructional books? Do you go to workshops? All of those have their pluses and minuses. The point of the questions is that we always need to be open to improving our skills and knowledge.
Our February speaker, Elena Ganusova, will provide you with much inspiration. Her artwork is beyond compare. One of the benefits of your membership is hearing well qualified, inspirational speakers at our meetings.
