The Tacony LAB free workshop series at Glen Foerd!
What makes a good photo? What can I do as a photographer to create better images? How do I capture the spirit, the feel of a place? These are some of the questions we’ll look at in a fun, (mostly) non-technical, and inspiring photo walk around the buildings and grounds of historic Glen Foerd, led by Philadelphia artist RA Friedman. All camera users and camera types are welcome including smartphones.
RA Friedman teaches beginning and advanced photography in the continuing ed division of The PA Academy of Fine Arts. For over twenty years he has photographed the Philadelphia landscape. In 2015 he co-authored a photo book that covered the four corners of the US. In 2019 he was awarded a residency and solo show at The Center For Art and History, Lewiston, Idaho.
Please register so we have an accurate count of supplies. This project may take the full 2 hours, so please arrive at 11 and plan to stay until 1.
This event will take place on location at Glen Foerd, a hidden treasure in Northeast Philadelphia on the Delaware River about 10 minutes drive from the Tacony LAB.
Registration is required for this event.
