Talking in Loud Whispers: Making the Connection

In the Workshops we've often discussed how important it is to make a connection with your subject in order to create the best possible images.  For me, the greatest joy in taking pictures is the process, not the end product - when the pictures I have mean something to me as well as the viewer the process transcends from being a pretty picture to being a shared experience.  

Whether you are photographing people, places, or things, there are ways of making that connection that will make your experience of taking the picture deeper and stronger, lending a sense of power and intensity that allow the people we share our images with to see them on an emotional as well as artistic level.

The first Talking in Loud Whispers discussion group will be taking place from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. immediately following the DLS Crash Course on August 10, 2008.  Everyone is welcome.  As this is a discussion group and not a presentation or lecture, I invite everyone to come with questions and suggestions, and willing to share their own experiences taking connected' pictures.

Cost is $5 per participant.  Coffee and snacks will be provided.  Please email h dot walls at shaw dot ca to sign up.
