My Photo Workshops in L.A. this Summer!

Posted on 07 June 2010

I’m very excited to announce that I’m teaching three workshops at Blue Rooster Art’s Atwater Studio in L.A. this summer! One is a Pinhole Camera making class, and two are Camera Basics Boot Camps. I run through a little bit about them below, but you can find the full details on each workshop on the Blue Rooster website:

Build A Pinhole Camera
Wed, June 23rd, 2010
6-9PM
$50* (FREE Roll of Film for blog readers & Twitter/Facebook friends!)

We’re going to build fully-functioning cameras just out of ordinary household materials: cardboard, a soda can and rubber bands. I’ve custom designed a medium format pinhole camera just for this workshop that’s pretty sweet. It’s easy to build and you can decorate it any way you please. I’ll also be showing a little slideshow of some really cool pictures and DIY cameras to show you the myriad of creative possibilities in the world of pinhole photography.

Camera Basics BOOT CAMP
Sun, July 11, 2010
Sun, August 15, 2010
12-4PM
$175* ($25 OFF coupon available for blog readers & Twitter/Facebook friends!)

This one is going to be a really rad, intensive workshop. (And don’t worry, there won’t be any yelling or push-ups!) I’ve cut out allll the textbook BS to show how to work a camera in just a short time. With my camera connected to a monitor, you get to witness first hand what all the buttons do at the exact moment an image is taken. If you have a camera and just can’t seem to get a decent picture out of it, or just can’t be bothered with reading a boring manual, then this is the class for you. I will show you visually how it all works together. And there will also be a display setup that you can practice on, so you can see your own results that same day. This workshop is designed to teach you very quickly, in a fun and engaging environment.

Both of these workshops are going to be very playful and very hands-on. And it’s a really good time to ask me whatever questions you want about cameras, development and photography.

If you’re in the Los Angeles area and are interested in either of these workshops, you can sign up here! (Be sure to email me about the online discount coupons!)

And check out their other classes too. They’re also offering Comic Making and Illustration (the instructor Kiyoshi Nakazawa is an awesome guy so check his classes out!), Screen Printing, Ukelele for Kids (which I totally want to take myself if I could), Airbrushing, Plush Making and Expressing Yourself Through Painting. All of these should be fun and creative classes.

I will most likely be teaching more workshops at Blue Rooster in the fall, so please let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to see in the future. =)
