Where and When

Always been interested in photography? Longing to liberate your inner Avedon or Karsh? Then register now for the Carrot’s Photo Scavenger Hunt.
The hunt starts at 10 AM with a short lesson on photographic technique that will include tips on exposure and composition. Teams will then disperse to search for and photograph assigned subjects, all of which are to be found within four blocks of the Carrot Café.
Individuals or teams can participate, and all ages are welcome. And you don’t need to bring your own camera — the Carrot will supply disposable cameras as well as some light refreshments.

Artist trading cards will be the second Saturday of each month (once a month only). However, for March we are meeting the first Saturday (March 1) due to the pinhole photography workshop. Workshops run from 12:30pm to 3:30pm at The Carrot (9251 118 Ave). Artist Trading Cards are miniature works of art created on 2.5 X 3.5 inch card stock or mat board. They are originals, small editions, and, most importantly, self-produced. Anybody can produce them. The idea is that you trade them with other people who produce cards at the sessions. The workshop will include samples, ideas on how to get started and some materials (but please feel free to bring some of your own to keep costs down.) To register call Becky 435-3499.
