Paddlers Club Program Planned

BROOKFIELD — The Housatonic Valley Paddlers Club will hold a meeting Monday, May 14, at 7 pm, at Brookfield Community Center, 100 Pocono Road.

Wally Kolek, a professional digital photographer, will be the guest speaker. Mr Kolek, a Danbury resident, has a passion for architecture, lighthouses, landscapes, and seasonal scenes.

Involved in photography for more than 30 years, he decided to leave a successful corporate career early to pursue his lifelong dream. He has specialized exclusively in digital photography for the past six years.

Mr Kolek’s keen sense of visualizing the picture and his ability to capture the moment has helped him create photographs that are extraordinary and treasured by many for their beauty. His work is displayed in a number of quality exhibits throughout the year, as well as in galleries, local businesses, and in many private collections worldwide.

When he is not working behind the camera, Mr Kolek finds inspiration for his photos in the tranquility of fly fishing for trout on the many rivers in Connecticut. And, more often than not, the camera is nearby to capture the spectacular scenery.

Everyone is welcome to attend the program; there is no admission charge. For additional information call 263-3281 or visit HVPaddleClub.org.
