Several individuals jumped at the
opportunity to participate in a photography class taught by professional photographer
and community partner, Joe Damone. Joe is a graduate of New York Institute of
Photography who hails from NYC and is also a resident of Andes, NY. He shared his
love of the art of photography with others by providing 2 sessions of 6 workshops
each at The Arc of Delaware County.
Photo “rookies” as well as more
experienced photographers whom have exhibited works in local galleries and
other venues gained knowledge about the art of photography during the
workshops. They learned the basics
of digital photography, including picture composition, lighting, cropping,
taking portrait photos, and many other techniques. The class visited several
locations to experience taking photos in natural settings such as a farm and a
covered bridge in Hamden, NY.
The photography program is so successful that a third
workshop program is scheduled to begin on January 6th. With the colder weather,
this class will be having indoor opportunities for photo shoots including a
church in Delhi, the Delaware County Historical Association and the Heart of
the Catskills Humane Society.
Photography can provide a lifelong conduit for creative
expression and offers personal satisfaction and appreciation for the beauty
that surrounds us. Bring some sunshine into your winter day by viewing photos taken during the summer/fall session
of the photography class: Gems from Photography Class
