Crossroads Photography Workshop at The Museum of Contemporary Photography

For the next three days Corinne Rose and I will be presenting a three day photography workshop with the theme of Crossroads to Chicago Public School Teachers. The main objective of this workshop is learning how to use a camera to capture moments and tell stories while actively engaging the theme of Crossroads.  Each workshop participant will create a body of work during the workshop that addresses the theme of Crossroads.

Crossroads a shift in direction; a new path or road; pushing boundaries/limits/personal comfort; CHANGE; making choices; confronting the unexpected. A Meeting point-coming together.
