Street photography is meant to capture everyday life, but it's the story behind the photograph that adds to the intrigue. In our time together we will examine a series of images not for their artistic content, but for the story the photos tell. Do we all see the same story?  Let's find out.

Kendall Draeger will talk about local opportunities for photography.

Some photos grab your attention with instant impact; others reveal deeper stories the longer you look. Photography is more than capturing what something looks like — it’s about revealing what it feels like, and giving the viewer a sense of place, context, and connection.

Finding and maintaining photographic inspiration can be both a challenge and a joy (sometimes simultaneously). This session explores common barriers to inspiration and strategies for dismantling them. Examples and tips to keep yourself inspired and joyful, project ideas, and examples of inspirational work of other Tripod members are included.

Photography offers an endless array of creative shooting ideas. In this program, we’ll explore techniques to spark creativity with your camera, helping you capture abstracts and playful perspectives. 

Adobe continues to add new, exciting features to Photoshop and Lightroom. Paul will take you through some of the most interesting and useful updates in the latest versions of each.
