X-perimenting with X-Ray Film Workshop

X-Perimenting with X-Ray Film in Large Format

Sunday, October 15th | 1P to 4P(ish)

How to See Inside a Tree, Using X-ray Film, Carl Hartt

Carl Hartt will be leading the much-anticipated workshop using large format cameras with x-ray film to capture photographs. Carl will provide an overview of the process and be on hand to answer questions as we venture on a small excursion along the Menomonee River Parkway capturing our images. If you do not have a large format camera of your own, don’t worry, there will be a few on hand, as well as film holders for loan.

Once we’re finished we’ll head back to Carl’s place to learn his alternative process for developing our images with his home-brewed developer; after which, we’ll have a few of our very own experimental process photos to take home. Relative to the number of attendees, expect to make 2 – 4 images in this workshop.

No large format experience necessary to attend this workshop, basic knowledge of the analog photography process is helpful.

We’ll head out for a dutch-treat dinner and drinks afterward.

Space is limited, so if you’re interested, don’t wait to register.
