DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS

from Madeleine Waller | Comment (0) | May 25, 2010 Madeleine Waller

Hello everyone,  sorry for the long delay between workshops we have been waiting for Portico (the place with the apple macs) to re-open.    We are hoping to run the last of the digital photography workshops on 14th and 15th June (Dates to be confirmed) .   During the next workshop I will be collecting everyone's pictures so we can organise an exhibition of your amazing work and hopefully a book as well.     I hope you have been out taking lots of pictures and thinking about your chosen subjects and projects......  If not you have  a few weeks left to get out with your cameras and take some more lovely photographs  remembering the title "Portraits within the Landscape"  this can be anything, friends family or just a nice picture you see when you're out in the park or on your way to school.    If you are having trouble with the batteries Peter has some spares.   You need to use proper electronic/photo batteries with the cameras as normal batteries will run out almost immediately.  Look forward to seeing you all with loads of pictures in the next few weeks.    Madeleine


PHOTOGRAPHS FOR MONDAY

from Madeleine Waller | Comment (0) | Mar 5, 2010 Madeleine Waller

Hi everyone, I have really been enjoying looking at all your great pictures on the blog.  Just wanted you to  have a think about one picture, you have taken, that you would like to work on in the workshop on Monday so you can print and email it to someone and also put your finished picture up on the blog and write something about it.  Don't forget your cameras and their leads to connect to the computer.

Look forward to seeing you all on Monday afternoon.

See you on Tuesday.

"Going to the dance was a fantastic experience. My grandmother who was very formal and austere used to take me to the ballet and i absolutely hated it"

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
