still from the film Observer

with PS1 Director John E
Sunday, April 27, 2025, 4-5 pm
meet at PS1 Close House (ambling forward from there)
free for PS1 members, suggested donation for others

Join PS1 Director, John E, for an hour-long skill-share on visual composition. This mini-workshop will take the form of a short, intentional walk with an eye (or many :) towards composition. 

Presented as an engaged prompt ahead of the film Observer coming to FilmScene May 31st, 4pm. 

We will discuss simple techniques for making attractive compositions within a frame (take a better picture!) and reflect on shared experiences of observation (what decisions are we making when we compose? What does a frame allow or neglect? What can we learn by looking?). 

Please RSVP before midnight, April 25th here:
