Photography Begins With Seeing is the title of a new photographic print show by the Padre Trails Camera Club. One of the artist members, Sandie McCafferty, also serves as the club’s hospitality chair; one of her works is shown above. “To create an impactful photograph, one must truly see and engage with a subject rather than simply look at it,” the artists offer in a collective statement for the exhibit. “While technology has made photography more accessible than ever, the photographer’s vision remains the most vital part of the process; the eye and mind are far more critical to the art than the tools themselves.” An artists’ reception takes place at 6pm Friday, July 17. On display until Sept. 4 at Walter Lee Avery Gallery (inside Seaside City Hall) at 440 Harcourt Ave., Seaside. Open 8am-5pm Monday through Friday.
