SUMMARY:May 4\, 2026 "Developing film"
DESCRIPTION: May 4\, 2026 at 7:00 PM: Ken Martin & Angela Blimline will share “An Evening of B/W Film Developing with Angela and Ken” \nJoin us at the Goggle works in Suite 326 for an evening of developing Black and White negative film. \nWe will complete the developing of one roll of B/W film from loading the film onto a developing reel\, loading into the developing tank\, pouring the chemicals\, and producing a developed roll of film\, all in under 15 minutes\, from start to finish. \nWe will also discuss all aspects of film development to include not only B/W negative film\, but also the steps to develop color negative film. \nWe will be reviewing all the equipment needed for development\, including the different chemicals needed for color and B/W\, where to buy them and cost examples.  Of course\, a film camera is required to expose the negative film\, and we will show some camera examples\, and discuss the different types of cameras and film. \nAngela will discuss the scanning techniques and the preservation of negatives and Ken will explain EAS. \nIf you ever were thinking about getting back into film shooting\, and developing your own film at home\, this presentation is for you. (it’s actually cheaper to develop film at home than a lab\, and it is fun too.)

SUMMARY:May 18\, 2026 at 7:00 PM: Doug Chinnery will present  “Working at the Edge of an Unthought”
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nAbstraction is often where clarity falters & imagination begins. Many photographers find themselves uneasy here – between what is seen & what is felt\, between subject & sensation. Yet it’s in this uncertain territory that some of the most original & personal work is born. \nIn this presentation\, Doug will explore what it means to see abstractly – to move beyond representation & into perception\, intuition & response. Together\, we’ll look at how to loosen control\, embrace ambiguity & cultivate the mental space where unexpected images emerge. The audience will discover practical ways to translate that awareness into compelling visual form\, using their camera & their own sensitivity as creative instruments. \nIn the second half of this session\, Doug will demonstrate how he takes raw\, ordinary photographs & transforms them into expressive abstractions\, using Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop in unconventional ways that align with his creative intent. \nThis session is both a meditation & a workshop – a chance to stand at the edge of the un-thought\, to look beyond what one know & perhaps to rediscover the excitement of making images that surprise even us. \n  \nDoug comes to us from the UK. In Doug’s own words: “I am primarily influenced by & draw inspiration from Abstract Expressionist painters such as Hodgkin\, Feiler\, Rae & Ryman. My gestural work aims to distil the rhythm\, rhyme & flow of the landscape through poetic visual expressions.  \n  \nWith the camera as my principal medium\, mirroring my painted mixed-media abstracts\, I attempt to create intuitive\, abstracted works that layer texture\, colour & form to elicit a deeply emotional & expressive response to the natural & built environments. \n  \nLiving on a remote island in the Outer Hebrides\, much of my time is devoted to teaching\, especially through our online & app-based creative photography community at fyv.art. I have a passion for creative thinking & relish encouraging students worldwide to discover their own unique artistic voice. \n  \nI have exhibited widely in the UK & overseas\, have taught in the Photography Degree course at the Bradford College of Art. My first book\, ‘Abstract Mindedness’ has now sold out.  \n  \nWhen not making art\, I derive great pleasure from making (rather poor) furniture & spending time with my wife\, Beth\, & our exuberant Golden Retriever\, Eddie.” \n  \nPlease check out Doug’s online creative learning and community sites: \n  \n\ndoug@dougchinnery.com\nwww.dougchinnery.com\nFYV – find your voice\nwww.baileychinnery.com\n\nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation.
