Calendar of Events JULY ART EXHIBITION July 3 - 1, 2008 Dolphy Glendinning >>View Image Pieces such as the black and white “ Midnight Hideaway,” taken earlier this year and the color shot, “Loch Raven Sunrise,” taken in 2007 are her attempt to capture a moment and see things a little differently than others might. The Crofton resident was born in Annapolis and holds a BS in recreation from the University of Maryland at College Park. Seeing the work of her grandfather, Charles E. Emery (1897 – 1957) who founded the Annapolis Camera Club, sparked her interest in photography. Membership in the Arundel Camera Club has helped her hone her skills and learn new techniques. Like her grandfather, whose photographs were recently rediscovered, Glendinning is a serious hobbyist. By day she is a teacher’s assistant at Germantown Elementary and a latchkey director at the same school for the city Recreation and Parks Dept work.
