CMPG June General Meeting: Charles E. Goldblum, "Editing the Night Sky"

Join us for our June General Meeting, Wednesday, June 4th, at 6:30pm. Our speakers will be Charles E. Goldblum. The focus of his talk will be Photographing and Editing the Night Sky.

Charles is a photographer specializing in landscape and nightscape photography. When he is not behind the camera, Charles serves as Principal Professional Staff at the Johns Hopkins University APL. He holds a B.A. in Physics and English Literature from The George Washington University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Virginia.

When the moon cycle aligns with clear skies, he chases the darkest nights to photograph the cosmos—standing beneath the Milky Way evokes a sense of wonder, reminding him of both the vastness of the universe and our small yet meaningful place within it.

Charles resides in Annapolis, MD, next to the Chesapeake Bay, and spends part of the year in Carnelian Bay, CA, on Lake Tahoe — two places that continuously inspire his photography. Whether capturing sweeping landscapes or intricate natural textures, he strives to reveal the beauty that surrounds us, both near and far.

After retiring in February 2028, Charles plans to dedicate time and energy to helping people who are approaching retirement or newly retired learn photography — just as he did when he started at age 61.

Come and talk with other CMPG members at 6:30, meeting starts at 7:00 pm.
