Lecture | How To Produce the Best Photography Prints


This lecture, given by fine art photographer Douglas Dubler, will cover all of the basic color management steps necessary to get from a properly exposed capture to a custom fine art digital print. Most importantly, he will be displaying fine art digital prints produced according to his proprietary printing workflow. Some of the topics covered will be proper setup of your camera, calibrating your monitor, and custom printing profiles. As critical or maybe more so, is the quality of 'light', which will be covered in detail. All of this is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's mantra, "To See Things Unseen".

Book Discussion | Award-Winning TV Showrunner Shares Her First-Ever Novel, The Revelation of Dionne Daphne

"The Revelation of Dionne Daphne is a feat--a novel that is not only a pulse-thrumming page-turner, but a moving meditation on the long reach of family traumas, the ballast of deep friendships, and complicated forgiveness. The book is every bit of a love letter to Black women, to anyone burdened by the weight of a troubled past."--Mitchell S. Jackson, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Residue Years
