Summary of 2019-2020 Activities

Workshop Report from Karoline Cullen & Val Hider

Seven workshops and two skill development classes were held this season.

We enjoyed presentations on Fine Art Architecture by Sharon Tenenbaum, Black and White Photography with Russ and Wendy Kwan, and Story Telling with film director Nick Humphries. Francois Cleroux covered Tripodology and Greg Schurman did a critique session. Dennis Ducklow inspired us with his presentation on Multiple Exposures and Holly Egan covered Cell Phone Photography. We had two workshops cancelled – one for a print selection night and one because of COVID 19. Francois Cleroux ran parts one and two of his introduction to photography sessions called Photo 101.

Special thanks to Roger Lasell for doing the 50-50 draws. The proceeds helped fund the honorariums paid to the presenters.

Any suggestions for digital platform workshops for next season are welcome.
