monday #1: introduction

I am very happy to announce that our skupinska foto terapija (for non-sloven speakers, it's 'group photo therapy') has begun.
Our first Monday session was short but long enough for introduction of all the people, the idea and reason why we gathered. We also had possibility to see other people's photos. The links to our online photo collections are in the right-side menu.
From talking and showing our stuff, we could feel that we are very different personalities with various backgrounds who have very different approaches to photography. We can use this diversity in useful way for all of us who are participating.

Next Monday, we will briefly go through the history of photography and maybe we will start with the composition.

We agreed that part of our learning process will be also photo homeworks. Each time, we set some topic or task to deal with our photoaparat in one week. Next time we meet, everybody shows what he did and we can discuss, analyze it and give each other feedback.

First time, also for sake of getting to know each other, our homework is to make photo series depicting how our daily life looks like. To show others what we see, feel and experience during our usual day. Try to make maximum 12 photos.

This blog is also a way how to show, what we are doing as a group, for those who can't join us physically. But you can still follow us, learn and share with us. Anybody, who is reading this blog, can do photo homeworks with us, as well. And send it to fedrafukicskowska@gmail.com

Invitation

Are you interested in photography? Do you want to improve your skills? Or you just like sharing your photo experience and point of view..? If so, attend our group photo terapy every Monday at 5pm in Pekarna, Maribor. We are starting April 26.


No age or skill limit, only requirements are English language and your own (digital) fotoaparat.

Or maybe you can just show us how to make better pictures than this one, for example. Because we also want to learn something from you.

Our motto: "first learning the rules, then breaking them"

More info at dusan@pekarna.org or 030 334 966
