Field Trip to San Pedro - Thursday, Feb 19th

We will be meeting at Sacred Grounds Coffee House at 1:30pm on Thursday, February 19th. I'ts located at 468 W. 6th Street, San Pedro, CA 90731

Then at 2pm, I'm happy to say that we will be visiting the home and studio of Ray and Arnee Carofano, two photographers who live and work just a block away. Ray will be speaking about his work and hopefully, Arnee will show some of her photography as well. They are very inspiring and dedicated to photography. Their studio is at 478 W. 7th Street, just one block away. There's a large parking lot right next to them, so I'd recommend you park there. 

As a group we will be creating a large panoramic photograph of several blocks on 6th street. Bring any type of camera you'd like to work with - you can shoot color or black and white. I'll be assigning each of your an area to photograph. We will be using the Joiners format pioneered by David Hockney.

Note: our current exhibition at the LBCC Gallery has a large panoramic of a single street in England by the artist Kim Abeles - here's a link to the press release.

Welcome to Photo 42

Welcome back from the break - I'm looking forward to an interesting semester. Our big goals will be to expand our ideas about what an image is and how to use our tools.
