Arrive 30 minutes early for social time, to visit with your fellow club members and meet some new folks. The program is 7pm – 9pm.
Cole Thompson will make the case that black and white is the perfect medium for any subject… except for one. Cole will show work from his various portfolios including:
- The Ghosts of Auschwitz-Birkenau
- Harbinger
- Ceiling Lamps
- Moai, Sitting for Portrait
- The Lone Man
- Negative Intersections
- And others
Interspersed between the images Cole will share his photographic philosophies, such as:
- Never listen to others
- Photographic Celibacy
- Coles Rule of Thirds
- Equipment is overrated
- Vision is the most important tool in my toolbox
- And many others!
At the end of his presentation Cole will answer questions and give away a print of The Angel Gabriel.
About Cole Thompson:
Cole Thompson is uniquely unqualified to speak on photography. “I’ve never taken a photography class or a workshop. I don’t have a degree in art. I’ve never worked as a photographer. I don’t have gallery representation. I’m not a Canon Explorer of Light. And I only have three lenses and none of them are primes. Do I have any qualifications? Just one… my images. Nothing else matters.”
