A ZONE Photography Class, was held on March 29th at the St. James Community Center, with Instructor Stefano Sagri. This was a hands on workshop with 7 students who learned how best to determine exposure using the Zone technique. Steve provided examples along with a slide presentation. He then took the class outside where they got a chance to practice their newly learned information using their own cameras. Check out the slideshow below from the workshop!

Here are some photos from the workshop! Joe and Sharon also came to our holiday party Friday, December 1st at the Artisans Gallery. Thanks to Joe and Sharon for a memorable and productive workshop! On Sunday afternoon, October 8, at 2 PM, SUFA presented “For Your Eyes Only – Stories of the CIA and MI5" from authors Carol Cini, “The Spy and His CIA Brat” and Dr. Tony Percy, “Misdefending the Realm”. Attendees viewed period photos and memorabilia and heard about life in a CIA family, Stalin's revenge on the British realm and the U.S. during WW II, along with funny CIA / MI5 stories. Check out the slideshow below from the event. We had a record crowd. And we raised a lot of money for Arts education and scholarships! Thank you again for your support! |
