Pat Mingarelli has over 25 years of experience as a pro photographer. He teaches seminars and workshops at Metro Community College, Iowa Western Community College and the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium.

In addition, he posts daily to his website The Visual Bible Verse of the Day  and has a speaking ministry called The Creation Speaks.

As a photographer, Pat realized that learning to write would help him get more photos published. As a writer, you’ll find the reverse to be true.
When you submit your written material with good photos, it’s more likely to get published. Even blog posts on you own website are far more likely to get read when accompanied by a strong image.

But just like Pat wondered how to write a great blog or devotional, you probably wonder how to take a great photo. Well, Pat knows, and will help us gain a better understanding of what makes a good photo whether we use an iPhone or digital SLR with interchangeable lenses.

He will also cover other topics including proper resolution for online and print, image compression, copyright issues, composition, lighting, choosing stock photography and what to consider when submitting multiple images with an article.

Please join us for this information-packed presentation.
Feel free to bring a snack and beverage. This meeting is open to all. After the meeting we’ll gather for our relaxed Afterglow chat session at Village Inn, 7837 Dodge St.

We meet the fourth Thursday of the month
6:00-7:45pm at the W. Clarke Swanson Library.
The meeting room is on the basement level. Park on the east side of the building and walk into the lower door.

Award-Winning Photographer Pat Mingarelli

Returns for Wordsowers 2018!

Pat Mingarelli, Award-Winning Photographer

Pat Mingarelli: I am an award-winning nature photographer with a unique kind of creation ministry. As an outdoor photographer I’ve spent countless hours observing God’s hand in creation. In those time’s I’ve learned that God speaks to us through His creation and the creation speaks to us about God. You can click here to learn more about my creation ministry.

The Creation Speaks ministry examines how nature speaks to our heart, soul and mind about God.

 


If you were at a book event and someone asked you, “Why do you write?” what would you say?  I have a message God has given me to touch others. I want celebrate and glorify God as creator and to encourage people in the daily walk with Him. In today’s world we are detached from creation. We all need to get outside more. Creation has plenty to tell us about God.

Do you have a mentor and/or author/and/or book that helped you this past year.  I really like Michael Hyatt and his Platform University

Do you ever struggle with writer’s block and if so, how do you overcome?  Yes, and I just start writing anyway. Eventually, the right thoughts just come together.


Pat returns as our on-site photographer, offering photography sessions during this year’s conference.
