More About the lab

Photography is design.

In this photographic collaborative, we will explore photography through assignments. This will force us to think about photography in new ways, pushing our creativity and abilities to new realms previously unrealized.

Each week an assignment will be posted that will challenge you to potentially think about photography in new ways. We are looking to grow as photographers both in technical skill level as well as in terms of creativity and theory. This will be an interactive collaborative. We will meet twice a month to present prints [8x10 or whatever tells your story] of our photos and discuss them with others in the lab. In addition to meeting, everyone involved can post their photos of each assignment to this blog. This will allow us to offer critique and suggestion before the physical print is presented to the group. Above all else, this is supposed to be a fun way to engage people in our photography and learn about our own and others' art. If you miss an assignment, no worries, just pick up on the next one that you can. We hope this is an entertaining way to learn and grow as photographers and designers.

We look forward to seeing you and your photos soon.
