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.
WITH JYOTI LIGGIN AT THE EBPCO COMMUNITY DARKROOM
This one-day session is designed for those who have had some previous experience in black & white photography, processing, and printing but have been away from it for some time. We will go through the process of black & white film processing and darkroom printing together as a refresher to these hands-on procedures. Participants must bring an exposed but unprocessed roll of film to work with for the class. All other materials for this course are provided by EBPCO!

WITH CHRISSY HUHN AT THE EBPCO COMMUNITY DARKROOM
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. There will also be a brief introduction and overview to traditional darkroom printing - all experience levels are welcome. Participants must bring a their own box or cylindrical canister to construct their camera. All other materials will be provided by EBPCO!

WITH BRENNA HANSEN AT THE EBPCO COMMUNITY DARKROOM
Lumen prints are photograms made with the sun. This is a camera-less photography process that combines photographic paper and chemistry traditionally used in a darkroom setting with light and subject matter found outside. The results yielded from this open and experimental process are surprising and dynamic. In this workshop, we’ll introduce this alternative analog process, experiment with a variety of materials, and briefly cover DIY digital methods of presentation and archiving. No previous experience is required and all materials are included.
