Terry and Tim’s love for wildlife photography

. No comments.

Flathead County’s Rubbert brothers have made their love for photography more than a hobby. The brothers told that what they plan to do with thousands of snaps they have files away. The brothers – Terry Rubbert and Tim Rubbert make a magnificent duo. Terry recalls the time when he got hold of the family bug.

Terry told that they believed that it was cross country skiers coming to them, and they get closer and it was a moose walking down the road coming right at them. That time he told Tim that he got to film that. He had his video cam with him. The duo started filming it and it was a great experience and Terry told his brother that he need to come there and film with him.

Average Joe exhibit celebrates smartphone photography

. No comments.

Well, smartphone has become an integral part of our daily lives. In fact, there are people who could not live without a cellphone. But the biggest concern was not where to charge your smartphone, but to obtain clean water.

This is the single question that had earlier motivated the owner of Chester gallery Lori Warner and her friend and her friend Rebecca Steiner, who is an art historian, to launch a path-breaking program which harnesses the power of smartphone to step-up access to sanitation and clean water in Central America, Africa and South Asia.

These two women – Lori and Rebecca, imagined a photography exhibit of art by Average Joes – an exhibit which would observe the day to day perspective of the average person via a common medium: the camera application on the phone.

Warner and Steiner started their primary effort to collect pictures almost a year ago. By last month’s end, they had got over two hundred submissions, ranging from amateur to high art photography. The guidelines were that the snaps had to describe both water and a human figure. All of the snaps would be on display as well as for sale to help a non profit body water.org during The Average Joe Photo Show reception on 2nd February, Sunday, from 1 pm to 4 pm at Lori Warner Studio/Gallery located in Chester.

It is not a coincidence that it is Super Bowl Sunday. Rebecca Steiner told that this is the ultimate Average Joe day. The show would close on Earth Day.
