The
annual Fall workshop is being held by Edward Levinson at Edo’s
studio/darkroom/gallery/home in the countryside of Kamogawa, Chiba
Pref., on the Boso peninsula! The house is located on top of a hill a
few kilometers from the sea. Kamogawa, is a two hour train or bus ride
from Tokyo Station.
This workshop involves making pinhole cameras and learning how to use
them to make creative photographs. Mostly we will work with simple box
or can cameras and paper negatives. Some Polaroid products will also be
available for use as well as guidance on how to use film with pinhole
cameras. Time will be spent making the camera, photographing, and
developing and printing in the the black and white darkroom. An
excursion to the beach for shooting is part of the schedule. There is
also time for looking at Edward’ prints as well as those of students.
We will make a field trip to the ocean and nearby rice fields.
Open to beginners as well as experienced photographers. Overnight
accommodation is at a “minshiku” nearby in the “mountains”.
Workshops are
limited to five to
ten people. The small group allows for one on one learning with
Edward as well as a knowledgeable assistant.
