Photography Public Lecture Series

Each semester, the photography department hosts a public lecture series as part of CCSF’s Concert and Lecture Series. This series of lectures is free and open to the public and can also be taken for college credit.
Oct. 15th DEANNE DELBRIDGE
Delbridge has “jump started” many, many big name photographers both in the Bay Area as well as nationally. Talks about, show’s examples, discusses portfolio techniques, strategies, and techniques for breaking into the professional world of photography. All fields; commercial, fine art, portraiture etc. Deanne is an incredible motivator and facilitator with infectious energy.
Oct. 29th JUDY WALGREN
Photo Editor for the Chronicle newspaper. I went to a lecture and showing of her work. She has a unique way of expressing and capturing people in how they do their work and live their lives in both a natural and for the camera, a dramatic way.. Her journalistic photography, and person are commanding both to her subjects an audience as well.


Scholarships & Contests
PH51 SCHOLARSHIP: Entries due Friday Oct. 26, 2012

WHO
Open to Beginning Photography Students currently enrolled in PH51.
THEME
“Light As Subject”.
The very essence of the word ‘photo’ means light. One way of looking at light is to think of it as the subject of the image itself or to follow it, see it, and in turn to help others see it on any subject of your choice. Tips: Time of day matters as does direction and quality of light.
WHAT
The Barbara Stewart Memorial Scholarship was established by the ESL Department in memory of the late and beloved Barbara Stewart, an ESL instructor and photography enthusiast. Each semester, a beginning photography student is awarded a $250 scholarship in her honor.
