Get a new view on the world with solargraphy, one of the slowest forms of analog photography!

Solargraphs are long-exposure pinhole photographs that reveal not only the landscape, but also the passage of the sun across the sky. Familiar places look otherworldly, time is stretched, space transformed. Join us for a two-part workshop, make your own cameras, and discover!

The first meeting will include an overview of the process and preparing cameras. You’ll take your cameras home and place them, and, after some weeks, pull them in. At the second meeting, the images will be scanned and processed.

No experience necessary! All materials will be provided. The cameras supplied will be made from aluminum drink cans and/or black 35mm film canisters. You are welcome to bring other small containers to try, bearing in mind that if you want to put them outside, cameras should be weatherproof.

Artist Bio:
Jeff McConnell lives in the forests of New Jersey, and found alternative photography when there was no camera of a kind to make the pictures he imagined. He graduated from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia in 2000, has been exploring photography without lenses ever since, and has shown work and given workshops in numerous countries.
