FEATURED EVENTS
It’s Photo Walk Time!
We will be meeting on the first Sunday of the month. Bring any camera you like, and be prepared to wander and shoot for up to an hour.
EBPCO’s bimonthly photo walks are a great way to connect with other photographers while exploring and photographing an interesting Oakland location.
Our photo walks are free and OPEN TO ALL! Bring your camera(s) and your creativity. All cameras welcome, including phones.
Theme: Film Swap
Hosted by Anita Gay
What’s a film swap, you ask? Well, first of all, it’s a lot of fun. You shoot a roll of film (or some sheets of 4x5 if you’re Vince) then swap with a partner who shoots over the same roll or sheets. Get them developed and scanned before June 4th, pick a few favorites, then log onto Zoom at 7pm, and share your magic results with the rest of us!
Join us at Oakland Photo Workshop to discuss your photo projects and works in progress. The goals of these in-person sessions are to create a supportive space to give and receive feedback on projects in all areas of photography currently being developed. Sign up at ebpco.org/workshops

Participants will learn how to construct their own pinhole cameras utilizing recycled everyday materials and use silver gelatin paper to create black and white prints directly from the cameras they built. Sign up at ebpco.org/workshops
