November 9th and 10th photo events in Beaverton, Oregon.
Photography lecture
I am pleased to host a lecture and slide show by Ben Coffman at the Community Center, Vose Room in Beaverton. I came across Ben while cruising Craigslist. He had a posting for sites to photograph at night; his specialty. He does some really interesting star field photography with natural and man-made buildings included. Later, I saw three prints of his at the Oregon State Fair. Here is sample from his biography.
“So why am I interested in night photography? The medium first captured my imagination after my friend and fellow photographer Buck Christensen recommended I read Lance Keimig’s book Night Photography: Finding Your Way in the Dark. Keimig’s text and the accompanying images opened me up to a world of possibilities beyond long exposures of cars driving down roads or randomly waving a flashlight in front of an open shutter (the types of images I had first started working with in a college photography class a decade or more ago). There was an air of mystery in those dark images and a freedom to get away from traditional (to me: daylight) photography.”
You can read more and see some samples on Ben’s website, night
This is open to the public and free.
Free Print reviews.
I am organizing print reviews for the Beaverton Arts Commission. The date is November 10th at the Beaverton Library Conference room from 12 to 2pm. Each review will be 30 minutes, open to the public and free. I have contacted the local high school photography classes so I hope they will come in. It is a first come, first serve event, but appointments are available.
Reviewers are photographers, gallery operators and instructors.
