The presentation this month was given by Dr. Mark Milde on "Photography". Dr. Milde brought some of his photographs that he has taken and blown up for display that hangs in his office. He told his process of photographing different scenes, where he took the photographs and what about the scenery that caught his eye. He also mentioned different techniques that he uses for success photography. Milde also showed a couple of photographs that he took of Tom Runnels and told a humorous story about when he met Tom for the first time. Everyone enjoyed his presentation with many questions afterwards that he answered.
