Sam Prynda is the Pocono Photo Club Photographer of the Month!


Hello to all,

I started getting interested in photography about 25 years ago. My first camera was a Konica 5050.  I was more of a recreational photographer up until my son started playing ice hockey. 

So around 2005 I got my first digital camera, D70,  from Dave at Stroudsburg Foto and started shooting the hockey games.  All of a sudden the parents were requesting more and more photos of their kids playing.  So before I knew it, the lens got bigger, the camera got faster, and my passion went into high gear.

At the beginning I mainly shot youth sports, Hockey, Lacrosse, soccer, and some dirt bike racing.   I love shooting the action sports.  I also had the opportunity of shooting the Scranton University Hockey team.

Next I finally got the nerve up to create my own web page to try and promote my photos.   I really love the reactions I get from people seeing what I have captured through my lens.

Now I love shooting a verity of subjects like the outdoors, group shots, sports, and family portraits.   Since I am so used to shooting sports, my biggest issue is telling myself to slow down!  The camera is almost always with me.  I can’t wait to see what I can photograph next!
