Local photographer and educator, Aubrey Edwards, will be hosting the first of a series of community photography workshops at her studio in the Treme.
The upcoming series will focus on EXPOSURE, and will explain ISO, aperture, and shutter speed individually, as well as how to combine them. In addition to understanding the elements of exposure, students will also learn how to read their light meter; and will be shooting (semi) comfortably on manual mode by the workshop’s end.
Each EXPOSURE workshop will be capped at 10 students max, and each is donation-based and open to the public; all donations will be used directly for camera purchases for the Veterans Photo Project.
Please email Aubrey directly at aubreyedwards@gmail.com to secure a spot and await details for the EXPOSURE workshop, Saturday February 25th, 12pm-2pm.

LearnToLive Exhibit Night, devised by Yanti Turang, Sergio Padilla and Jason Prowell has come about as a result of the August 2011 research expedition to North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The purpose of the expedition was to scout locations and establish foundations for, LearnToLive, a three-week traveling healthcare program.
The LearnToLive exhibit consists of three mediums: photography (Jason Prowell), a short film (Renso Amariz) and an interactive installation. The exhibition follows the research team as they travel through North Sulawesi, Indonesia, exploring the need for their proposed healthcare program. There will be a silent auction of the photographs to help raise funds for their upcoming trip.
The one-night-only exhibition takes place at Du Mois Gallery, located at 4921 Freret St, on Tuesday, February 7th from 6:00 until 10:00p.
