"Photo Day" at UK, 11/19/10

Friday, November 19 will be an exciting opportunity for any and all photography students. UK will be hosting a "Photo Day", incorporating workshops, demonstrations, equipment demos, and artist lectures at the Reynolds Art Building on UK's campus.

All the action begins at 9 AM, running until 5 PM when there will be a break for dinner and an opportunity to join in the Lexington Gallery Hop. Everyone will reconvene at 9 PM for the third annual Light-Up UK, where hundreds of strobes and flashlights will be used to illuminate a building on campus. (Here's an example of a related project.)

I do not believe there are any registration fees, so all of the events should be FREE.

Activities:
Camera Obscura, Cyanotypes, Lighting Demos

Workshops:
Portfolio Design, Photography Careers, Book Making

Demos:
Mamiya Digital Cameras, Profoto Lighting Equipment, Sekonic Light Meters

Speakers:
Kate Shannon, Greg Davis, Kristen Sykes, Rebecca Holbrook, Erica Sanko, Christina Gora, Mary Rezny

Sponsors:
Midwest Photo Exchange, Mac-On-Campus

If my schedule allows, I'm planning on attending the event. Let me know if you'd like to join me, particularly students from ART 120: Photography and future students of ART 370: Portrait and Lighting. Hope to see you there!

And for further questions, contact Rob Dickies of the UK Photo Dept.
