Anatomy of Three Projects
An internet search for “How do I create a photography project” results in more than you need to start, develop, and complete your own projects. My presentation is short on “how to” and more on the “why” about three projects I’ve worked on: Escalier, Homage to Kertesz, and Muse, each of which was launched with a different intent and purpose.

Learning How I See - Developing A Style
Zoom Only
Wednesday, May 22nd- John Lapp - Zoom only
In the beginning I wanted drama - bright colors, strong contrast. Then I encountered Ansel Adams and John Sexton and wanted to photograph big, powerful scenes. I wasn’t any good at any of that; I don’t see that way. I found that my images that “work“ are small, more intimate studies. This presentation is an attempt to illustrate how I developed a style that fits the way I see. Lots of photographs: many that don’t work as well as I would like and some that do - at least for me.
