Grange Park Picnic, August 5th

Friday, August 4th, 2017

Vicki has organised an evening event:

Meet at 6:30pm – Grange Park (just behind the AGO)

Photography/Music/Play

Things to bring: blanket, folding chair, park games (frisbee or such), your own picnic dinner, musical instruments, cameras.

Musical jams and taking photos in and around the fabulous newly opened park, sit and eat. Later, when all the little kiddies go home, the larger, very interesting play equipment will be open for teens and adults to play on and get pics. Grange has put in amazing lighting, so it is great for night shots.

Could head to a pub later.

Graffiti Alley Portrait and Minimalist Photo Walk, January 21st

Thursday, January 19th, 2017

Thanks to Brad for organising/leading this:

Meet: 10:00 AM at Starbucks at 438 Richmond St West

We can work on our portrait and minimalist photography along Graffiti Alley.

The group can take turns being the models for the other to photograph.
Those wishing to bring any lighting equipment and want to drive there is a G P parking lot off Augusta Ave north of Queen St.

I thought to make this more of a challenge when you post the pictures in the Flickr group pool they have to be 1:1 or the square format. This would also make you think and do minimalist photography when taking photos of the Graffiti. Pictures that are not square can still be posted.

If someone wants to maybe we could have someone do video and you could do a Rick Mercer Rant.

After we are there for a few hours or when everyone has enough time to take pictures we will go to a nearby bar for drinks.

Tequila Bookworm 512 Queen St West: Unconfirmed
