The Meetup will offer many opportunities to not learn about improving upon your art. Technics and the basics of photography will also be visited in workshops as well as excursions. Art, and I believe art is photography, should be limitless. BUT, I do not promote art that supports violence or di …

The concept behind this Meetup is not a new one; artists have always collaborated with one another to stoke their creative fires by reacting artistically to each others work. In this case, the idea is for each artist to bring a sketchbook, begin a drawing, then have that sketchbook rotated through everyone else at the table, allowing the other artists to add to, and finish the drawing. You don't have to be a good artist to participate; the end result will be interesting no matter what, and even …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …
