UVic Documentary Photography Course Done
I’ve just finished up the documentary project class I was teaching as part of the University of Victoria’s Continuing Education program. The first time for continuing ed and it was a great experience. A small class but enthusiastic and everyone ended up working on a great project of their choice. The best part of teaching for me is watching the students’ confidence and skill improve …
Philip Blenkinsop, Norman Mauskopf, Light Hunting and other inspirations
Micah Escamilla had her Facebook status yesterday as Light Hunting which I thought was probably a perfect permanent status for any photographer. I have this poster for a workshop with Philip Blenkinsop on my bulletin board, not because I’m going but because I wish I was. The image alone will have to serve as inspiration. If you’ve got a documentary bent and want some more …
Talking To …… Esquimalt Photography Club and Western Academy Of Photography
A busy week for talks with a presentation Monday night on documentary photography to the good folks at the Esquimalt Photography Club and a Tuesday Q & A with students in the written Images class at the Western Academy of Photography. Both were a lot of fun for me and hopefully everyone got a little photo info to think about. Tonight after work I checked …
Lauren Henkin – Interview
Usually, with images hung on a wall, people move to look at images that interest them, they can skip images, or move out of the order the artist intends. With a book, beyond just controlling that viewing experience, you can go beyond just the sense of sight and incorporate touch, sound, text, and other means of telling your story more carefully as well.
Grant Writing Workshop With Donald Weber
Spent Saturday learning about the ins and outs of the world of grants in another Luz Gallery sponsored workshop with Donald Weber. It was all interesting and it was a busy and intense day with a great deal of information being offered. The bottom line though, is that like most things in life, there’s a lot of work and time involved in the process. Anyone …
Drinking With Photographers
One of the downsides of living in a smaller place is that you have a tendency to feel isolated from the rest of the world. This week Don Weber was in town for a couple of workshops and it was a nice reminder of the wider world out there. Thursday night I met up with him and a couple of other local photographers at a …
Donald Weber – Workshop – Chernobyl, Russia and the VII Photo Agency
Last weekend I attended a two day workshop presented by Luz Gallery with Toronto photographer Don Weber, a member of the VII agency. We had a diverse group of twelve workshoppers (if that’s a word). There was the legally blind Anglican minister, the woman who’d had Ansel Adams drop by her house when she was a child and critique her photos, a philosophy professor who …
New West Coast Workshop/Galleries – Studio 42 & Luz Gallery
It’s great to see local photographers putting together workshop and gallery spaces for photography. In New Westminster Brian Howell and Evan Seal have opened up Studio 42 and in Victoria Quinton Gordon’s Luz Gallery programs will get underway this fall. I noticed today that the first workshop at Gallery 42 , Brian’s session on the photo essay is already sold out, so much for a …
