Thanks to Mark James!


We want to thank Mark James on his wonderful presentation on Making Connections in Art, History, Science, and Philosophy with Photography.

Mark talked about "5 Major Themes to Make it Work":
1. Visual Language
2. Examine life more closely; experience more deeply
3. Pictorialism
4. Hidden Truths
5. Forms and Essence

Conclusions:
Be keen obsevers and use art to probe "hidden truths" in nature
Live life richly
Study the 'significances' of things
You must decide to engage on this level

If you missed out, no problem! Mark was nice enough to give us his PowerPoint presentation.

Pinhole Photography Workshop

Course Description:


This is pretty simple. You make a camera out of a box, use the box to make images on light sensitive paper, develop the paper, and you have a pinhole photograph that's all yours.

The objective is to learn to keep it simple; starting with your vision, the image capture and especially the processing and the printing of the image. We will explore ways to simplify these steps so that our primary focus can be on the creation of the image.
