"Night News" - an occasional missive from the darkness
Vol.14 No.4
_______________________________
Here we are, heading towards 4th Quarter ("High Season" for NPy
in the San Francisco Bay area, we've a number of items to bring to your attention!
A 4th Quarter preview, (our 55th NightNews!) starts now . . .
Our 3-nite Full Moon NPy
Workshop is again being offered September 28-30, 2012 at locations in
the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, including Fort Mason, historic Presidio
of San Francisco, and
the Marin Headlands. This signature NPy Workshop (Est. 1998) offers those
of you who might have "gotten your feet wet" with one-nighter Introductions
to the magical world of Night Photography (mostly in our Urban/non-Full Moon
offerings) a chance to really stretch out, and create some beautiful long
exposure, light-painted work! Hope to see you there!
Exhibiting opportunity:
Submissions to our latest
online Exhibit, "The Nocturnes 2012" has been extended, as
entries continue to arrive from such global locales as Malaysia, Switzerland,
Bermuda, and Potrero Hill. Continuing a tradition of open-themed biennial
exibits, these shows have always proved popular! Check out our EXHIBITS
page for more details - the new deadline for entries to be received is November
20 - the exhibit will run from December 1-31, 2012.
You probably already know this, but we are planning a return to Death Valley for a 3-night Workshop, November 25-27, 2012. We've been conducting these treks out into the "Definitive American Desert" - Mojave - since 2001- and they are our favorite destination. It's a perfect time of year (November is a very mild 77 degrees, followed by cooler nights at around 50 degrees) to visit this land of extremes - to do some extreme long-exposure nightwork!
The ever-popular "Postcards
from San Francisco" workshop
series is being offered again this month and into Oct/Nov. at Harvey Milk
Photo Center in San Francisco. Locations and dates include:
Chinatown - 9/19 - always a treat!
Palace of Fine Arts - 9/26 - expect a Maxfield Parrish-kind of evening . .
.
Golden Gate Park - 10/3 - including the iconic Conservatory of Flowers
The Presidio / Golden Gate Bridge -10/17
- for a portrait of our favorite 75-year-old
Treasure Island - 11/7 - with spectacular views of San Francisco!
As the days grow shorter
- and the nights longer - just remember: "Lets be careful out there .
