Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this photography class:

Ninety years ago, the first 35mm camera was produced: the Leica 1. A revolution! Photographers were no longer statues, tied to their large, heavy view cameras, prisoners to one position.  Now photographers could wander anywhere they chose, making pictures of anything observed.  With the camera held to the eye, a photographer could kneel, lean, stoop, or crouch to make an exposure in an instant.

Equally exhilarating are today’s miniature cameras, most notably the iPhone 6, and pocket-sized point-and-shoot cameras.  An iPhone 6 image now measures 11” at 300ppi in its longest diameter, while a point-and-shoot goes to 16” long. In the hands of a good craftsman, exhibition quality prints can be rendered; you’d be hard-pressed to distinguish these enlargements from those made from expensive 35mm cameras.

At the same time, the miniatures easily fit into our coat, shirt or back pockets; they are instantly accessible. We don’t have to “go out shooting” to find amazing pictures.  Our little cameras go wherever we go.  Unexpectedly, remarkable moments leap out of the blue, moments we’d never see if not armed with our tiny cameras.  Visual delights can pop-up anywhere:  on the way to lunch, to get groceries, to the cleaners, the hardware store, the parking lot.  We never know when the next great image will present itself.

Join John Weiss in this new, exciting workshop on making big pictures with little cameras.  Over the span of six weeks, we will learn to constantly be alert to our visual world as we live our lives.  We’ll learn how to respond to visual stimuli in an instant and how to organize the entire frame at a glance.  This takes hard work, practice, and discipline, but for those willing, you will claim this skill for your own. New work will be due every week, and John will make purposeful presentations at the beginning of each class, followed by in-depth reviews.  All members of our group will join in the critiques.
