The F295 Symposium is Coming!
The 2009 F295 Symposium on 21st Century Photography is approaching and we have a lot of great things planned this year. It will be held in Pittsburgh PA USA from May 28 - 31, 2009. The opening reception, lectures and round-table discussion are held in association with the Center for Arts in Society at Carnegie Mellon University and the workshops are held in association with Pittsburgh Filmmakers.

I thought I’d post to the list a run down of this years exciting programming. Complete information & registration information may be found on the website: http://www.f295.org/symposium2009/

6:00-7:30pm
Lecture:
Artist’ talk by Carol Panaro-Smith and James Hajicek entitled: The Search for the End of Searching. 
"....Over the last 8 years, James and Carol have been working collaboratively using the process known as photogenic drawing – one of photography’s earliest and most beautiful. It is also one of the most simple and direct processes that defines the very core of photography without recourse to the normally thought of requisite equipment and materials. Carol & James will share ideas about collaboration, their creative process and love affair with photogenic drawing."
