The Photographer: Patrick Joust
Follow Patrick:
Patrick Joust is a 42 year old photographer living in Baltimore with his wife, son and daughter. Born in the small town of Oroville, California, Patrick has gone back and forth between both coasts of the United States, before settling permanently in Baltimore in 2006 where he works as a reference and instruction librarian. The people and places of Baltimore have played a central part in his work, influencing how and where he points his camera both within and outside the city limits. Photography appeals to Patrick for the connections it can create. He finds “analog” photography especially interesting because of its tangible nature and aesthetic, particularly the detail and clarity that can be achieved with medium format film. A random building, car or an unusual road, places that could easily be driven past and forgotten, can gain permanence and meaning when captured and given more than a glance. It is often the most mundane subjects that attract Patrick’s lens because of the human qualities that manifest themselves in what we throw away or allow to stick around. It’s the connections he makes with people, a subject that is anything but mundane, that are the most important. Social barriers that might otherwise be in place can sometimes be overcome by a normally reserved guy with a clunky old camera. Patrick's photography attempts to reflect that beauty and importance can be found in places that we normally ignore or pigeonhole.

About our new series, ‘Picture Picture’:
Virtual events have their benefits! We can stretch far and wide to bring in photographers that inspire us. Distance no longer limits us! You are also welcome to contribute by becoming a member, gifting a membership as well as donating. Your support keeps this club running. Without it, we will come to a standstill. Please see below the ways you can support this Club.
Due to COVID-19
We will be hosting Free online meetings. We do ask if you find these meetings valuable please consider becoming a member or contributing what you desire via our website or the $CASH app. We still have expenses and without our monthly, in-person events our club is running low on funding. We have a very hefty website bill coming due June 1st and we now also have a subscription to zoom. The website is our main source of resources and communication online. We wouldn't be able to run our club as we do without it.
Important Notes: Monthly Meeting Contributions are a minimum of $10 for non-members & visitors. Feel free to contribute in advance using our $CASH app. only. Just add the meeting date in the subject line.
