Gold Rush is the Sacramento-based local chapter of PSA (the Photographic Society of America). We organize quarterly in-person photo workshops with morning programs and afternoon shoots based on the morning programs, with coffee and cookies! Sounds like fun to me! We also offer occasional online photo programs. Gold Rush invites you to join an in-person workshop on B/W Photography on Saturday, April 25th. We’ll start with morning programs with two excellent presenters (to give you a variety of approaches) followed by an afternoon photo shoot on the subject. There’s a charge of $15 for guest passes to check us out, no charge for Gold Rush members, and we’ll be renewing Gold Rush and PSA memberships at the workshop. We’ll be meeting at our usual location at the Oakmont of East Sacramento at 5301 F St; sign-ins start at 9am, and the program at 9:30. You can register now at https://tinyurl.com/BWWagnerGarrett. GARY WAGNER: BIO & PROGRAM Gary Wagner discovered his passion for photography early in his life, and studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography. Now based in Southern Oregon, he has spent over four decades photographing landscapes throughout the US and abroad. Working exclusively in black and white, Wagner emphasizes the essential shapes, lines and tonal qualities of landscapes, reflecting how he experiences a scene. His work expresses a deep respect for the natural beauty and order of the earth. Through his photography, Gary continues to explore the expressive possibilities of black and white imagery and share his interpretation of the natural world. Seeing in Black and White explores the art of black and white landscape photography, focusing on inspiration, vision, and the creative process. Gary will discuss how he approaches transforming color scenes into compelling B&W images, and the journey from initial vision to the final print. Through a selection of photographs, he’ll share insights into how light, shape, line and tone come together to create expressive black and white landscapes. LAURIE GALLANT: BIO & PROGRAM Laurie lived most of her life in San Francisco where she had a travel portrait/event/headshot job shooting theater and portrait clients as well as portraits of Chevron’s mariners. She moved to Rocklin and is currently an instructor for the Sacramento Photography Group, with bi-weekly field trips covering a variety of subjects. She will give a talk about the benefits of adding B&W photography to your portfolio of images, and will have some challenges for the photographers when we go shooting.
