Before smartphones and instant uploads, photography was a slower, more deliberate art. Join photographer Bruce Katsiff for a fascinating look back at the history of photography before the digital age. Explore the tools, techniques, and stories behind film-based photography, and gain insight into how artists captured life through the lens in a very different era.
This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Bruce Katsiff: Pieces of Life.
