Faraones Nightclub 220x300 Plainfield library showcasing talented photography trio picturesPLAINFIELD — A trio of talented local photographers has had a partial monopoly on the awards doled out during the Plainfield Public Library’s last several annual photography contests.

So the library did the only logical thing — it gave them their own exhibit.

The Park Avenue facility’s first Summer Invitational Photography Exhibition is on display now through the end of September, featuring a dozen images apiece by multiple award-winners William Monroe, Jackie Schnoop and Paul LeGrand.

I was made, born and raised in the Western part of Germany.
After living in Frankfurt, Germany and London, England for 4 years, we moved to Chicago, USA back in 2004.

Working in IT business, my job doesn’t have anything to do with photography, maybe that’s why I have always been interested in photography and it was not the traumatic experience in my dad’s dark room to blame when I was a child j/k.

All photos are made using a analog SLR CANON EOS 500 equipped with 70/210 lens and a digital SONY CyberShot 717, a digital SLR CANON REBEL XTi EOS 400 10 mpxls. On some shots I use macro lenses and I am experiencing a bit with astrophotography using a MEADE DS2114 Optical Diameter: 114mm (4.5”), Focal Length; Focal Ratio: 1000mm; F/8.8 as a telescopic lens for my DCS 717. I use ULead PhotoImpact 5 for post processing.
