GROW Offers “The Art of Seeing” by photographer Quinton Gordon – October 7, 2015

The Art of Seeing – October 7, 2015 10:30 – noon

with Quinton Gordon

The simple act of looking at the world around us and making photographs that express our emotional response to what we see opens new avenues of connection and creativity.

This short workshop with Quinton Gordon focuses on ways to heighten our sense of personal connection through a simplified approach to photography. Using low fidelity, simple cameras removes the technical barriers of image making, allowing us to focus on creative, visual, and emotional exploration. During the workshop Quinton will lead the group through a discussion on how a simple camera can be used to great effect followed by a one hour photo-walk.
