About this Event

Please join the Foggy Bottom West End Village for a fun and fascinating presentation by photographer Rena Schild who will discuss her work in sports photography including what goes into making a compelling sports image. She also will tell the stories behind some of her images. After the talking portion of the program, she will present a slide show of her images from a variety of sports ranging from children’s sports to pro events.   

Rena has been interested in photography since she received a film camera as a college graduation gift but was sidelined by the practice of law until she had time to take some photography courses later in her career. She then began experimenting with many types of photography, including family portraits, events, red carpet, sports, fine art and most recently bird photography. Rena currently is happiest capturing athletes and birds in motion but thoroughly enjoys all photography.

“Rena has been an important photography mentor for me. Her images are amazing and she’s a great storyteller. I am not a sports fan but I love this presentation!” - Lynn Cates

Note: The West End Library's large meeting room has a system that transmits a quality sound signal wirelessly to all functioning hearing aids in the meeting room. No special application is needed to make the connection with the hearing aid. For anyone with hearing impairment but without a hearing aid, a hearing loop system in the meeting room also transmits a similar signal through the use of a hearing loop worn around his/her neck. If you wish to use a hearing loop, please ask the person at the Library's Front Desk prior to the meeting for the hearing loop.
