Stay At Home Photowalks
This is still a series about Seeing

Norm has been holding a series FREE Photowalks (mainly in Jells Park, Wheelers Hill). The themes and photographic exercises have been loosely based on Freeman Patterson’s “Photography and the Art of Seeing”,  Rich Sammon's "Photo Therapy", Carl Purcell’s “Artist Brain” with a little of Max Meldrum’s “The Science of Appearance” plus some stuff from my blog posts.

The Actual Photowalks are on hold during the COVID-19 "social distancing" (or at least till restrictions on public gathering are reduced and we can resume safely).
Next Photowalk ... ... (on Zoom on in Jells Park?)
Late October or early November

The burden of this lengthy lockdown isn't getting any easier or encouraging you to pick up your camera. Lets hopw we can get out soon or at least talk about what we might do first.

Watch your email for details, as soon as there bare any indication of openning up.

Previous Zoom Meetings

Photo walking while you are staying at home may sound a bit counterintuitive. However, you can practice your photography around the house just as easily as you can at an exotic location. At home everything is familiar and you will need to start seeing your place in a slightly deeper way.

Creative Visualization
Sunday 17th May. 2:00 pm via Zoom

Different photographers have called it different things. Ansel Adams Talks about "Pre- Visualiztion", Henri Cartier-Bresson talks about the eye seeing a composition or an expression of life as "The Decisive Moment", Rick Sammon uses the term "Creative Visualization". All these approaches involve understanding how you get to the final picture. What you take in camera might only part of what you envisage. So we will take the opportunity of a Zoom Meeting to take turns Images or share with us the software you use and take us through an example.

Find your Focus” … Rick Sammon (a Sammonism from Photo Therapy Motivation and Wisdom)

This is not a warm and cuddly, group hug session. Whilst it follows the ideas of photo therapy and mindfulness you won’t have to chant or silently meditate. It is just a walk that explores ways to connect with the moment, experience the place, and unfurl creativity. Enjoy freeing your mind of distractions and focusing on the here and now. It is the type of photo therapy that is good for your health and soul.

Side Stepping PhotoWalking Roadblocks

The Stage 4 lockdown, really pus the brakes on our ability to get out and do some photography, for at least the foreseeable future.  Well unless it is exercise, you are by yourself, wearing a mask and it is within 5km of your house (the basic strategy of the renew strict restricts are designed to limit everyone's contact with others, so this pushing the limits of exceptions and doesn't follow that strategic aim of interacting with fewer potentially infected folk, and may put you at extra risk)

However there are plenty of other things photographic that we can undertake.
The story continues ... ... (on Zoom)
Wednesday August 30th, 7:30PM

Have you noticed the days go very slow but the weeks are slipping away. They kinda have to with the monotony of the tight lockdown. Anyway its time we had another zoom meetup. Nothing to detailed planned. We can begin with a Show &Tell, any projects you have been doing, some photos to share with us and questions. Do you have an idea or techniques you would like to share, some inovativeuse of zoom or great on-line wrk shop. I’ll finish up with a few ideas on how and many artists see composition.
