About the photographers

River Reporter staff member Jeffrey Sidle has called Wayne and Pike counties home since 1972. Always intrigued and fascinated by nature, he began teaching himself photography in 2007 after purchasing his first digital interchangeable lens camera. Jeff’s portfolio includes many local images, but his love of travel has added images from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina and Florida. His award-winning work focuses mainly on wildlife and nature; find it at www.facebook.com/jeffrey.sidle. 

Bonnie McCaffery has been a professional photographer for over 10 years. Her passion is photographing people including headshots, senior photos, portraits and most recently sports photography—where she captures action photos of the local kids.

The Pike Photography Club maintains Pike Photography Club on Facebook. 

The COVID pandemic forced the club to cease formal meetings; however, several get-togethers continued. A new temporary venue has been found and the group hopes that meetings will resume in the fall of 2023.
