Your 2025 Judge

 

Award winning photographer, Dave Coulter, began studying photography in 1978 and over the years has worked as a photographer on several newspapers as well as a free-lance assistant in the NYC studio of Eva Rubenstein and Duane Michaels.  In 1982, Dave left New York City to work for the Pocono Record, eventually becoming the Chief Photographer there overseeing a staff of 3 photographers and himself.  Dave added commercial photography to his repertoire in 1988 and more recently has taken on real estate with the Keller Williams Agency in Stroudsburg, PA.  Once the judging is done, Dave will present the winners and his thoughts on them at our June meeting (June 17, 2025). 

We thank Dave in advance for taking on the task of reviewing and judging all the entries PPC and PPC turn in!
