“Photographer and Technology Integration Teacher, Don Menges”
|
January 22, 2019 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM
Photographer and Technology Integration Teacher, Don Menges, will give a presentation entitled “My Expertise in Photography” at the January 22, 2019 meeting of the Irondequoit Art Club to be held 7:30 PM at Chapel Oaks, St. Ann’s Community, 1550 Portland Ave., Rochester, NY 14621, after the club’s 7 PM business meeting. (Enter St. Ann’s Campus and bear left following signs to the main entrance of Chapel Oaks.) There is no charge for this event and the site is accessible to all.
Formerly a Math teacher, in 1990, Menges became the first Technology Integration Teacher in NYS. For the next 17 years, he taught teachers how to incorporate technology into their
instructional strategies and students how to use technology as a tool to learn and publish their accomplishments. Photography is a natural motivator for children. Menges and his students used some of the very early digital cameras and enjoyed the evolution of them as they captured images of people, bugs, architecture, science experiments, and much more. He was fascinated with how even reluctant students would write volumes about the images they captured as if they were compelled to explain what this little slice of time meant to them.
Menges retired in 2006 and decided to take his interest in photography to the next level by continuing to learn and practice ever since. He enjoys photographing everything, always seeking that image that clearly defines a person, a place, or a thing, often just capturing an image that describes an ordinary thing in an extraordinary manner.
He has been a Partner at Image City Photography Gallery on University Ave., Rochester, NY, for the past 10 years and enjoys making architectural images, street work and portraiture.

The Art Walk at the Irondequoit Town Hall
The Irondequoit Town Hall exhibits original, fine art created by the Irondequoit Art Club (IAC), a locally-based group of eclectic artists. A different art display is shown every three months and features various media including acrylic, oil, watercolor for view &/or for sale. The pieces are located on the main floor outside and inside the Broderick Room, at the Assessor’s office and on the 2nd floor outside of administrative offices. IAC artist, Barbara Montione, is the coordinator of this display.
An added feature along the stairs is a series of permanent murals, created by IAC member Jeanette Musliner and Hollis Biggs Garver. These vignettes of Irondequoit history spanning 150 years were developed in consultation with town historian Pat Wayne. Durand Eastman Park is presented as four seasons within one painting. The Town Hall is shown as a compilation of the July 4 daytime parade and nighttime fireworks. The frames were handmade and painted to match the walls.
The Irondequoit Town Hall is located at 1280 Titus Ave, Rochester, NY 14617 and is handicapped accessible. Viewing hours are generally 9 AM to 4:30 PM. There is no entry fee. For more info, contact the town hall at 585-467-8840, or Barb Montione at 585-338-1184. For more about the Irondequoit Art Club, consult the club’s website www.irondequoitartclub.org
