Most artists are doing basically the same thing – staying off the streets.
— Edward Ruscha

This show, inspired in part by the book and online project Street Photography Now, is an exploration of this topic by six members of our collective. The photographers use a broad spectrum of photographic technology—from silver gelatin to digital cameraphones—to candidly portray life in public places. Their vision elevates the ordinary into realms of beauty and myth.

Spend an intensive three days/four nights focused on learning how to take control of your camera and make the photographs you set out to make. Using the structure of an editorial-styled assignment, we’ll work on conceiving and planning images, refining your approach and focusing your personal vision, and of course all the technical skills needed to pull it off. A project-based, hands-on format will include lots of photographing, editing, critique, and finally presenting your work. This workshop is designed to accommodate a wide range of styles and abilities.

Some photographers, and Ari Salomon is among these, skirt the artificial distinction between subjective and objective uses of photography by concentrating on camera vision. Cameras can see things that human eyes cannot.

Larry Sultan, a highly influential California photographer whose 1977 collaboration, “Evidence” — a book made up solely of pictures culled from vast industrial and government archives — became a watershed in the history of art photography, died on Sunday at his home in Greenbrae, Calif. He was 63.
