THE CREATIVE ARTSBLACK AND WHITE MASTERY WITH DAVID SUTTON

THE LIMITS OF A DIGITALCAMERA -AND HOW TO EXCEED THEM.Black and White Mastery

A one day workshop. Working with prints and projected images we will cover:

-the language of black and white-the artist’s palette-black and white conversion options (using Lightroom and Photoshop) and non-destructive workflows.

David says: “I have been photographing as long as I can remember. My first camera was a Kodak vest pocket, probably a Six-20. That smell of leather and polished wood lingers in the memory, as does the pungent odour of hypo and developer in the small darkroom I had as a teenager in the 1960s.

That magical process of image making has been revolutionised by the arrival of digital processes, and the ability to move past what a camera records and to realise in print what I envision has been liberating.

I have been exhibiting, lecturing and teaching since 2008. You can visit my website at www.davidsutton.co.nz

“I am not interested in shooting new things – I am interested to see things new.

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.” Ernst Haas

ABOUT TIME BANKING

TWO WRITING COURSESWITH P.D.R LINDSAY

members within the community and are given time credits for the work they do. With the credits they gain, each member can ‘buy’ someone else’s time, and get the service they need.EVERYONE’S TIME IS EQUALWith Time Banking everybody’s time is equal, no matter what type of work is done. 1 = 1. If you give one hour’s work, you receive one hour time credit. If you have another member do one hour’s work, they are paid one hour time credit. WHY JOIN A TIME BANK?Time Banking adds a richness to Time Bankers’ lives. It brings wealth, in the form of friendship, caring for one another, having needs met from within our own community and getting help with things we can’t do. Skills that are often taken for granted are valued - es-pecially non-market economy skills - like mothering, basic home help and caring, friendliness, listening. By placing equal value on everyone and each person’s unique skills and contributions, it encourages a more inclusive community. HOW TO JOIN UP WITH TIMEBANK WAITAKIThere’s an annual $5 membership fee, otherwise there are no costs involved. See the workshop listing under ‘Money and Its Alternatives’ earlier in this brochure.
