Tired of taking boring pictures? Then join me on Saturday, September 6 from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM at the Memphis Brooks Museum for Photographing with Intent.
This is not a technical how-to use your equipment course. Rather it will help the photographer tell a story – learn what are the elements of the story, what are the basic emotions involved, what is the photographer’s responsibility, why portraits are more than the subject, and more. From the earliest days of photography, intent was always at the forefront of the endeavor. To make the best pictures, intent must be present.
Learn what time, space, and place have to do with successful images. And the best equipment is not the most expensive. It’s what you have with you everyday. Clue: it’s not your phone.
Writer, author and photographer Bruce Meisterman is known for his non-fiction documentary book Arn? Narn. He has since turned to writing fiction. He has now written his second book of fiction The Light Inerrant.
All light, the sun, stars, electrical, and reflections, disappear only to return momentarily, again and again. Not surprisingly, fear spreads across the globe. It will take a dedicated group of scientists to discover light has become sentient. And that's not even the biggest surprise they'll encounter.
His first book of fiction A Coward's Guide to Living could best be described as Homer's Odyssey meets Thelma and Louise, minus Louise.
Most people start their mornings with a cup of coffee. Jacob Will's started with attending the funeral of his best friend. And in a letter left for him by the deceased, he was charged with getting his act together - big time. It would take him across the country into places he never thought of visiting, interacting with people for the first time in a genuine way, and finding and then losing love.
