Abstracts and Still Lifes
Saturday, April 28, 2012 | 2:30 pm-5:00 pm
See that wrinkled red leaf on the sidewalk? It’s a picture. See the cross-hatched shadows on the wall made by the fire escape railing? It’s a picture. See the abstract reflections in that yellow motorcycle’s gas tank? It’s a picture. See the colorful and zany patterns of color from that piece of mural art? It’s a picture, and pictures like this actually SELL!
If you want to develop your eye for the weird and unusual close-up, if you want to spend an afternoon inside the right part of your brain, come join professional architectural photographer E. David Luria in the Adams-Morgan neighborhood for a walking Safari that will sharpen your eyes for pictures you never knew were there! Our co-instructor is creative amateur photographer and frequent Safarian Dennis Ettlin who will demonstrate his clever techniques for close-in photography.
