A weekend of workshops, keynote presentations, portfolio reviews and photo walks. All of this and much, much more!!! Our Exposure Weekend has become bigger and better. We have expanded from our usual two-days to three-days, and added several new features!
We'll kick off the weekend on Friday morning by celebrating the evolution of the Monterey Peninsula's photographic heritage. A panel of notable Monterey Peninsula photographers including Dick Garrod and others will commemorate the 45th anniversary of the Friends of Photography and its evolution into today's CPA.
You will have the opportunity on both Friday and Saturday, to attend two 90-minute workshop sessions, and to mingle and catch up with friends during our social wine & cheese hour. In addition to our usual one-on-one print review opportunities, there will also be a "real time" digital review session and a group peer review. Saturday's full day of programming will culminate in our featured keynote presentation by nationally known photographer Dan Burkholder.
On Sunday, there will be guided photo walk opportunities, a dark room tour at Bob Kolbrener's home in the Carmel Highlands (limited to 20 participants), as well as a movie presentation of "The Roots of California Photography: The Monterey Legacy" narrated by Jack Lemmon. We conclude the weekend with a discussion on "Photography Tomorrow", exploring how technology and business might be moving photography into the future.

Friday, November 2, 2012 – Sessions: Choose 2 of 4
1. Harold Davis: Creating Natural Images Using HDR
With the advent of digital photography, new horizons in extending dynamic range are possible. HDR techniques now make it possible to extend the dynamic range of an image well beyond the capability of the human eye. In this presentation, Harold Davis, author of the bestselling Creating HDR Photos: The Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Photography shows how HDR techniques can be used to create unique, subtle, and natural-looking images.
 Harold Davis is an award-winning professional photographer and the author of many bestselling books on photography and image processing. His images are widely collected and commissioned, and his popular photo workshops are often sold out.
2. Susan Friedman: Mixed Media – Pushing the Edges of your Photography
Collage and mixed media is a very expressive way to create layers and depth in your work. In this hands-on workshop you will be able to explore transfers, painting, sanding distressing paper and color, through the use of a wide range of materials. Please bring: contact sheets, black and white photographs, ink jet photographs, scissors, and paint.
 Susan Friedman is a photographer and filmmaker and whose work has been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Oakland Museum, and the Bibliotheque National in Paris. She has taught photography for 23 years at UCSC Santa Cruz and 13 years at Cabrillo College. She leads private workshops and courses through the University of California, Santa Cruz Extension.
3. Martha Casanave: Letting Go of the Camera - The Joy of Cameraless Photography
Cameraless photography is experiencing an amazing revival in both universities and the gallery world. Casanave offers an informative, entertaining discussion-provoking presentation on cameraless processes, some of which can be done without a darkroom. Processes include photograms, cyanotypes, chemigrams, lumens and cliche verre. The presentation includes historical, contemporary and student examples of cameraless work.
 Martha Casanave has been a working photographer for thirty five years. She teaches alternative photographic processes and portrait photography at Monterey Peninsula College and Cabrillo College. She is currently at work on her fourth book: Trajectories--A Half Century of Portraits, scheduled to be released by Image Continuum Press in June, 2013.
4. Annie Pike: The Layered Image
Annie will share methods and insights on alternative photography and print-making, using both
layered and content based imagery. Complexity and layering of imagery and conceptual material
has always been the main components of her art-making. Using a printing press to take the work
to yet another level turned out to be a good solution. Annie’s work is about inner landscapes, myth
and magic. Spend time with Annie to learn how she combines photographs, scanning and printing
to produce an array of fascinating images and other media.
 Annie Pike studied photography with Wynn Bullock, Ruth Bernhardt, Al Weber and many other masters. Her dream has always
been to blend drawing and painting with photography and for the last 8 years she has been using a printing press to combine
photograph based imagery. She photographs. She scans. She combines media. She prints. She is interested in structure and color
and currently pursues the intersection of Art and Science, Einstein, beehive collapse, and the structure of the Universe.

Dan has taught classes and workshops at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the lnternational Center of Photography in New York, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego and others.
