Thursday, February, 9 – 6:30 pm – Shaking Hands with the Dead

Friday, February 24th, 1 pm – Phone Photography Workshop with Professor and Photographer Daric Christian.
Your phone camera can capture a large amount of data, and with a few steps, you can manipulate the data to your liking, not just the standard settings used by the default software. This workshop will look at several tools that can nondestructively adjust that data, providing flexibility. Christian will discuss suggestions for making prints.
