FEATURED EVENTS
Please join us at Telegraph Beer Garden for a low-key gathering. This is a chance to mingle and meet some fellow photographers, and talk about photography, or whatever else strikes our fancy!
WITH SAKARA BIRDSONG AT THE EBPCO COMMUNITY DARKROOM
In this one-day workshop, participants will learn methods for manipulating and transferring Polaroid film. This includes transferring an image onto paper or glass and working to create collages out of polaroids with these materials. We’ll also learn how to safely experiment with everyday chemicals found in the pantry to create unconventional polaroid images. Participants are asked to bring a polaroid camera as well as some film (600 or I-type). All other materials are provided by EBPCO.

WORKSHOPS
IN THE GALLERY
EBPCO’s annual member exhibition challenges photographers from all around the Bay Area to explore a single topic or theme. This year the challenge is DIPTYCHS, where two images placed side by side can create an unexpected resonance and deeper meaning beyond the individual images. Curated by John Park, formerly of Underdog Film Lab, this exhibition features thirty seven local photographers as they take on the mysterious power of diptychs, revealing a broad range of human experience and emotion.
