The UW photo lab, part of Classroom Support Services in Kane Hall, is closing and we are sorry to see the loss of two wonderful photographers and this worthy lab due to budget cuts. Some of the services to UW's Special Collections will be picked up by UW Creative in Health Sciences.

Meeting: January 10 in Room T-269, Health Sciences Building 5:30~7:30

Bring one or two photographs of your choice: either your own or a favorite print from a magazine, book, newspaper, etc. The print must be at least 5 x 7" or larger. Bring a pen or pencil to write with. The evening will be about perception: that of the onlooker and that of the photographer. If you know too much about the particulars or think about it too much before the evening, it might take the fun and insight away from the exercise. The photograph(s) can be telling some of sort of story (or not), can be abstract or noticeably obvious in some way, can be a film print or digitalized, black and white or color, just clear enough to get a good look at, or even not so clear...

There will be some snacks. Sometimes we go for a late supper in the area if anyone's interested.
