What gets captured in the shadows of the forgotten? Who notices the gems among the thorns? It’s all a matter of perspective. It’s all in the way in which we view what surrounds us. Beauty can be nestled deep within the soil but we must search to find it and that… that is the very thing that we will do.
In this hands-on interactive workshop series we explore selected neighborhoods in order to capture perspectives through the lens of the camera with the hopes to expose the pearls that have been passed over.
