Are you a practicing or wannabe food blogger wishing your pics looks as good as your food tastes? Have you always wanted to self-publish a cookbook of your family recipes that includes glamour shots of your grandmother's apple pie? We are thrilled to have photographer Robert Birnbach with us for this two-part food photography class. Class One (3/6 - Two Sessions) In this three hour hands on class, students will learn basic techniques that can be applied to improve their photographs of food. This class is open to 10 people, but will be held twice, once at 9 AM and once at 1 PM so that up to twenty interested students can be accommodated. Students from the morning and afternoon classes will be gathered together for Class Two. Class Two (3/23 - The Group Gathering) After Class One the students will be asked to go home and take a picture that utilizes their new skills and knowledge. They will then email this photo to Robert who will compile everyone's photos into a slide show. In Class Two, all twenty students will gather together for an evening of wine, cheese, and photo friendly photo critiquing. Robert will help students to have a deeper understanding of the areas they are succeeding in and how they can improve.

Rambling around the finite physical world, photographer’s visions are bound to cross paths, intersecting across time, space and intent at touchstone subject matter. We've called a group of 20 photographers back to 5 such seminal subject crossroads. A chair, a flower, a window, a tree, and the road; these are subjects we have found our way to, in our own way, on our own way. “I Got 5 On It” seeks to celebrate the overlapping moments of individual creative trajectories, to examine these common subjects as expressed by a variety of photographers, and to create an opportunity to study photographer’s styles as evidenced across these subjects. Our hope is that by presenting these 5 subjects as captured by a diverse group of photographers side-by-side, we can coax the magical quality of the images, the extra something we’re really getting at, aside from the physical subject, to the fore. We’re playing with what we have in common to get at what sets us apart.
