We gathered at the Bakery on a hot sunny day in June to learn the alternative process of cyanotype. The class was taught by Meredith Kennedy, and assisted by Maya Attean. We sold out of our spots for this class, so it was a full house! Read what students had to say about this course, and see some photos of the workshop as well as the results from the students work.

Bakery director Nick Gervin taught a 3 week introduction to street photography workshop in May at the Bakery! Students learned a new way to look at their urban environments and create images as cityscapes, street portraits and candid moments with an emphasis on depth, lighting and separation. Here’s a look at some of the work the students created and their thoughts on taking the course!

Dream Sequence considers the way pictures speak to each other and tell infinite stories through association and suggestion. Galtney’s images are rooted in narratively direct traditions such as autobiography and documentary, but through variation and juxtaposition – random and otherwise – the pictures become cryptic, dreamlike fragments. Whatever story they tell is ultimately up to the viewer.
