Minimalist photography emphasizes simplicity in composition and telling a story with as few elements as possible. It allows one to create images using simple subject matter, only capturing what is essential, and telling a story in the process by exploring the relationship between your subject and the viewer.

On the Eve of Halloween 1938, a young actor/director broadcast a radio drama based on a 40-year-old novel: The War of the Worlds.
While the original broadcast had a relatively low audience, the impact it had, and continues to have, on American culture is staggering.

If you like to knit or crochet, you’ll enjoy meeting Laura Shtaida, pattern tester! Pattern designers have several steps to their process before releasing patterns for knitters or crocheters. Laura helps the designers by testing their patterns before they are released by providing feedback and recommendations. By participating in test knits, Laura has virtually met a lot of interesting people from around the world and learned a lot of new knitting skills.
Laura will share how she finds patterns to test, details about the process of testing, and some of her finished objects.
What is fine art black & white photography about?
It means reconstructing reality, looking for texture, contrast in tone, evoking impressionism, and focusing on the play of light.
Black & white allows for a more personal interpretation of reality. This month our assignment is to capture images in black and white, keeping these points in mind.
Please send in your photographs by Monday, March 15.
