Talking Photography


Greg Cradick

While knowledge of the internal workings of your camera will certainly enhance your photographic abilities, at some point artists and art consumers need to push into the unexplored territory of what makes a great image . . well . . . great.

Talking Photography is a FREE monthly series of lectures and conversations designed to cultivate the photographic connoisseur in you. Each month’s topic will be addressed in depth and we will especially focus on the idea behind the image we are discussing. The lectures will take place in venues suitable to the topic at hand – thus, we plan to visit different arts institutions in Colorado and view the actual photographs, not digital projections or copies, as we discuss what makes that particular image a work of art.

Issues to be addressed include:

  • -We have a rich history of photographic arts. What are some of the more important pieces (and a few lesser known images) and why are they so noteworthy?
  • -What is the state of contemporary photography now and where is it headed in the near future?
  • -What is meant by having a “good eye”?
  • -What is the difference between a snapshot and a fine art photograph?
  • -Why is the context (time and place) of a photograph so important?

This class is designed to be a conversation, a place where you can listen, learn, speak, engage in, and be a part of the conversation.

These conversations will take place on the first Saturday of every month from 1 – 4pm at various locations.
