“Every image you make is a self portrait”
The Ongoing Moment is a monthly meeting for PHOTOGRAPHERS / ARTISTS who wish to increase their understanding and improve their practice of their medium. The title refers to the idea that “we share experiences that are formally similar”
We explore past Master photographers and Contemporary photographers, looking at their images and artistic process to help us go forward on our own photographic journey.
We will also be giving away copies of SHOTS magazines
courtesy of Elizabeth Flinsch I Editor of Shots.
Elizabeth Flinsch will be speaking to us about her images as well as the magazine some time in the near future.
Members sharing images these months:
You are encouraged to bring prints of your current or past work to share with the group, where you can ask for comments or reviews. We are a safe place to help you grow as artists and encourage creative exploration of all kinds. Please email us before the meetings with how many images you will share and tell us if you will be presenting digital or prints. If digital, bring images on a USB drive with only your images on it. All presenters will need to come 30 minutes before the meeting for preparation time.
