A CONTRIBUTION TO WONDER: Making Images in the Twenty-First Century 

In a time of excessive imagery, what is the point of making more?  What contributions are our images making to ourselves, our family, and our community?  How can we push ourselves toward images that contribute to a sense of wonder for those that see them?  In this conversation we will look at examples of images throughout art history, and the cross pollination of poetry, sculpture, and painting and discuss how this can help us in creating new images.

Corey Frey is a visual artist, writer and art educator living in Middletown, Maryland.  He and his wife Christy founded The Well Collaborative, a community dedicated to creativity, curiosity and hospitality.  He also works as the Exhibitions Manager at The Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick Maryland.

Let’s see, come on out with the club members and have some fun and challenges (hint-hint, I will be checking your gear). If you would like to participate in this One Lens/One Camera Challenge, please email me with your contact information and phone number.

How to be an Introverted Photographer

Engaging strangers on the street through photography can be intimidating, especially if you are introverted. This presentation will talk about some of the rewards and difficulties of walking around with a camera and photographing people from the perspective of someone who took years to get sort-of, kind-of comfortable and is still trying to figure it out. Rather than thinking about how being shy/reserved is a hindrance we’ll talk about how perhaps it can facilitate a thoughtful approach to the act of engaging with others. In this time of increased loneliness and isolation, can photography help?
