We will be meeting in-person at the Antelope Valley Senior Center (777 W Jackman St, Lancaster, CA 93534) for the first time in two years. It will be great to see everyone together again! Join us for a great time of learning! We will also have a Zoom link available (technology permitting) for those who are too far away to attend in person.

What is street photography? Christopher Broughton will introduce the concept of using “street photography” as a practice field for improving our photographic seeing? The presentation will include tools, techniques, prompts, and resources to match anyone’s skill level. In addition to the presentation a large selection of prints will be displayed to discuss the final step in Broughton’s process and that is the Fine Art Print.
