FREE Workshop with Will Tinapple, ABC Open and hosted by Katherine Regional Arts.
Location: Katherine Regional Arts Office, RM J19, Upstairs at the Katherine Training Centre in Second Street.
The moment behind the photo is a project that invites you to share a photo from your collection and the story behind it using photo & audio or photo & text. In this fun workshop, participants will upload a photograph and tell the story of the image, which will then be shared with the world on the ABC Open web site.
In order to prepare for this workshop you will need to:
- check out the project at ABC online: http://open.abc.net.au/projects/moment-behind-the-photo-53jq3ls
- choose your photo! This can be taken from your own collection, or taken specifically for the workshop. It must be a photograph that you have permission to use.
- sign up for a flickr account
- digitise (i.e. scan) your photo if it’s not already digital (if you don’t have access to a scanner we can do this in the workshop, but if you can do it ahead of time it will save workshop time)
- join the ABC Open Camera Club.
Bring along your laptop and your memories and get your story online!
