Large matters: contemporary Canadian large-format photography

A lecture by Stefan Rose, City of Kitchener Artist-in-Residence

Sunday, February 21, 2 p.m., Conestoga Room, ground floor, Kitchener City Hall.

The image of a photographer hidden under a dark cloth behind a large camera is one straight out of the movies. But did you know that these kinds of cameras are still in use, and are still relevant in today’s digital age?

Kitchener’s artist-in-residence for 2010, Stefan Rose, uses these cameras for his work. Join him on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 2 p.m. in the Conestoga Room at Kitchener City Hall, to find out why large cameras that use sheets of film (up to 8 inches x 20 inches in size) are still relevant in the digital age and important to today’s artists.

Club members, Tom Jeary and Ken Macpherson, will share images and a few tales about their Arctic Adventure. See the wonderful landscape and people Canada's great white north has to offer.

As well, we will be selecting the 30 images Highland Glen will submit for our annual Stag and Swan competition with Stratford.

The evening will begin with an opportunity for everyone to see all the prints and digital images.
