SUMMARY:Member Presentation: 2nd Half - Philippe Laporta "My 2026 Trip to Italy - a Travelogue"
DESCRIPTION:Member of the Montreal Camera Club since 2005\, my interest in photography started young\, when my uncle gave me a Polaroid camera and spoke so passionately about photography. My parents were glad because it ‘calmed me down’ a bit. The combination of artistic and technical requirements helped me focus and have always kept me interested in photography. Another milestone to spark my interest came from a summer camp counselor that shared the same passion my uncle had. His hand-colored Black & White images were memorizing\, as was the darkroom he had set-up- I was hooked. I then attended the photography program at Loyola\, covering university events for the university paper\, and later worked with two wonderful Montreal photographers “Mia & Klaus” who encouraged me to pursue my passion. The great photographers Ansel Adams\, Edward Weston\, Imogen Cunningham\, Elliott Erwitt and many others continue to inspire me. Keeping an open mind\, learning\, and sharing all help me to be an active participant in life and help me to give of myself. \n \nTuscany / Umbria  \nFrom Firenze to Pescara and around the Gargano peninsula\, visiting the villages where my grandfathers came from\, what a gift! Traveling through central Italy\, with great food\, wine and amazing gelato. Firenze\, San Gimignano\, Monteriggioni\, Montepulciano\, Siena\, Orvieto to Pescara. Then retracing history with my daughters to Carunchio (Chieti) and the Gargano to San Marco in Lamis (Foggia).
