an image by Rebecca Sexton LarsonTampa-based photographer Rebecca Sexton Larson will speak about her work that involves turning everyday objects into pinhole cameras. Attendees will glean a better understanding of pinhole photography and related techniques. Topics to be covered during talk include the history of the "Camera Obscura", an introduction to basic steps in making a pinhole camera, as well as commercial pinhole cameras and kits available on the market. Rebecca's photographs are in numerous major collections throughout the country, including: Polaroid, Progressive Corporate Art, Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), Holland and Knight Law Firm, the Polk Museum of Art, and the Tampa Museum of Art (to name a few). Currently her work is featured in the book, Pinhole Photography: Rediscovering a Historic Technique, by Eric Renner.
