We're less than two weeks away from our next exhibit, Lora Webb Nichols: Photographs Made, Photographs Collected, co-curated by @nicolejeanhill. This exhibit runs from September 30th to November 19th at CPAC.⁠
⁠
The archive of film images photographed and collected by Lora Webb Nichols (1883- 1962) showcases the domestic, social, and economic aspects of life in south-central Wyoming during the early 1900s. ⁠
⁠
Since 2013, visual artist, curator, and educator Nicole Jean Hill has worked to preserve the archive by digitizing photos, organizing corresponding text, and collaborating with the Grand Encampment Museum and the American Heritage Center. ⁠

⁠
Simply answer the following five questions above. Let’s begin!⁠
⁠
Answered A⁠
⁠
If you mostly answered A, then you would greatly enjoy our cyanotype workshops with instructor Kimberly Chiaris. Create cyan-blue prints using one of the oldest photographic processes by making contact prints using ultraviolet lights or sunlight.⁠
⁠
Answered B⁠
⁠
If you found yourself choosing B most of the time, then our in-person Black & White Darkroom course with Michael Snively is the class to register for. Explore and practice film exposure, film developing, and refine your skills printing in the darkroom.⁠
⁠
Answered C⁠
⁠
If you consistently answered C, then we recommend taking one of Morgain Bailey's landscape workshops. You can reimagine and document surrounding landscapes or increase your understanding of how to create a successful land-inspired diptych.⁠
⁠
Answered D⁠
⁠
If D was your stand-strong answer, then you should take any Photoshop classes taught by instructor Kia Neill. She offers both an introduction on advanced image enhancement and digital collage.⁠
⁠

Appreciation post for @lenscratch who featured our

Appreciation post for @lenscratch who featured our current exhibition Industry Standard, article written by CPAC’s very own Megan Ross.

“We all know that photographers in today’s digital era must use, learn, and maintain an astounding number of technological devices and tools. What’s easier to forget is that behind every camera, computer, software platform, and printer is a corporation – Canon, Epson, Apple, for example – that heavily influences how we create our work.

With tremendous skill and a healthy sense of humor, Meggan Gould and Andy Mattern explore our complicated relationship to photographic technologies and the companies that make them in Industry Standard, a new exhibition at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center that runs through September 24th, 2022.”
