THE EXIT 87 PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE
Critical print critique and workshop photography exhibit: TBA
Nestled in a beautiful little
valley at the foot of Mt Hood, surrounded by miles and miles of amber
fields of wheat, emerald
fields of alfalfa, abundant orchards and vineyards, is one of Oregon's
most delightful and friendly small communities. Join us as we experience
a day filled with a myriad of photographic opportunities.
We will, wind our way through flowing fields of grain and alfalfa, stopping
periodically to photograph beautifully preserved turn-of-the century homesteads,
deteriorating
wooden grain silos, dilapidated barns, an abandoned school, and animals -- some
domestic, others wild.
.. Draft horse field demonstrations
. Old fences, gates, doors and windows
. Classic car show - Sunday only
. Wildlife and farm animals
. Historical wagon tours of the charming farming community
. Weaver and spinner demonstrations
. Beautiful quilt display
. Portrait opportunities of farmers and townspeople
The photography instruction and assistance you'll receive in the field will emphasize elements of visual design, and how they are used to create the essence of an expressive image. Whether you're using wide angle, macro, normal or telephoto lenses, an artistic interpretation of the region is well within your reach.
This workshop is open to those with a working knowledge of their equipment
and a basic understanding of photography. Any camera type or medium (film,
slide or digital) is welcome however a tripod is essential.
We hope you'll join us to photographically honor this regions history, celebrate
the crop just harvested, document the lifestyle of the early settlers, and
to get acquainted with some of the 600 residents of this delightful farming
community.
