Presented by Joannie Lafrenière.
How can we learn to see what surrounds us in a new way? This workshop offers an introduction to photography through mindful observation of everyday life. Through discussions, viewings, and hands-on exercises using a smartphone, participants are invited to explore different ways of telling the story of the world around them and to highlight the richness and expressiveness of the everyday.
No prior experience is required. A smartphone with a built in camera is sufficient for this workshop.
Sundays, October 25 to December 6, from 2 to 4 p.m.
Register through the library’s website.
