Two upcoming photo talks
November 5th, 2009 Posted in UncategorizedWanted to give a shout about two upcoming and local talks that look pretty interesting.
The first is by local photographer Eros Hoagland and will be hosted at the Exposure Gallery, Thursday, November 5th at 7pm. Hoagland, a photojournalist who has covered many areas of unrest around the world, will be talking about his recent experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Exposure Gallery is at 801 Howard, at 4th.
The second will be at the San Francisco Art Institute, this Friday evening (the 6th) where PhotoAlliance will be hosting photographer Jim Goldberg. Goldberg, a Magnum member since 2006, will talk about his project Open See, a series about refugees, immigration, and trafficking in Greece. The SFAI is located at 600 Chestnut (at Jones) – the talk begins at 7:30pm. Probably best to get there a little early.
I’ve been to many talks at both the Exposure Gallery and PhotoAlliance and they’ve all been excellent. Unfortunately I’ll probably have to pass on these events cuz I’m really sick with the flu now, but thought others would like to know about them.

Just wanted to mention that I also made it to the Jim Goldberg talk — he really was interesting and gave a good show… Thanks for the tips.
By the way, I got the opportunity to do some night shooting in Northbeach after the Eros Hoagland thing on Thursday, and before the SAFI thing I had an hour and a half to kill so I did another tour of Northbeach and into a bit of Chinatown. Got a fairly acceptable shutter speed at ISO-1600 and f-4. Love how I can be a bit more stealthy at night… Only got yelled at twice in Chinatown…
Hope you feel better soon…

Thanks, Don. To bad the talks weren’t a couple days later – would have made them…
Always love shooting in Chinatown and Northbeach…
