Photographs by Dennis Poeschel

Dennis Poeschel, PPSA of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dennis is a member of the Unlimited Visions Photo Club located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. His PSA membership has spanned two periods. In the 1970’s he was an active competitor and member of several local clubs. Dennis taught photography for adults in the local Technical College. These classes included basic and advanced camera techniques, darkroom and the zone system. As a young family began to develop these activities slowed as he focused on his family. In addition he ran a portrait and wedding photography business at the time for 15 years. Also, in the 70’s, he played a key roll in the organization of the then Wisconsin International Salon of Photography. With the advent of the digital world, and a now grown family, Dennis rekindled his love for the camera and photography. Gone were the days of wet darkroom.

Dennis quickly rejoined PSA and became active in many areas. With a strong competitive spirit the international exhibitions and shows are his focus. Interested divisions include small prints, photojournalism in all formats, EID and most recently the dual projected images in the color slide division. Dennis has quickly earned various star ratings in all these division to earn him his PPSA recognition. He has 3 Stars in Color Slide, 3 Stars in EID (Color), 1 Star in EID (Mono), 1 Star in PJ (second one pending), 3 Stars in Pictorial Print Color and 2 in Pictorial Print Mono.

In addition to the competition exhibitions, Dennis donates his photographic abilities to local charities and area events. He lectures to area camera clubs on various topics of interest and writes articles for the PSA Journal.
