Wednesday

The photos we save and the photos we take show what we care about and hope to preserve, what moves and mystifies us, the people, places, stories and experiences that bring meaning into our lives. Writing from photos allows us to approach our pictures as works of art, with an artist’s perception of revelations worthy of development into creative prose and poetry. Writing from personal photos allows us to express the truth of what we feel––and know––and haven’t said, as we capture the beauty and deeper meaning of an image. Whether you’re writing poetry or prose, memoir or a blog, family history or a monologue, your personal photos will be an excellent prompt to compelling writing. Bring a personal photo to write from.

Rothstein, Lance

Make and use your own pinhole film camera!
Discover the magic that can be concocted from a simple box with a hole in it! Film photography aficionado Lance Rothstein has been working in the darkroom for more than 20 years and he'll guide you in this unique workshop. Participants will learn about the exciting world of pinhole photography and then construct their own pinhole camera based on my pre-stenciled design. Using the cutting-edge technology (of the sixteenth century) we’ll explore some of the different ways to make photographs by adding some of today’s newest film photography innovations. Each student will leave with their own camera and at least 2 different images they’ve made during the class, which may include Film Negatives, Polaroids, Instax, & Direct Positive Gelatin Silver Prints.
