Erik Almas is a commercial photographer, not usually our focus here. But he is a master at seamlessly blending multiple exposures, which is a technique used by one of our favorite photographers, Gregory Crewdson. The resulting image looks as it it was made with a single exposure. Almas gives a talk on his technique this evening. Sponsored by the American Society of Media Photographers, www.asmp.org. At Ziba Design 810 NW Marshall 7PM Students $5, otherwise $15-25
Laurel Nakadate brings a David Lynch sensibility to art films and photography, with a primary focus on female models and set in her native Midwest. Nakadate studied at Yale in the era of the infamous Another Girl, Another Planet show organized by Crewdson. The show was criticized at the time, but now is considered a coming out party for what we know today as The Yale School. It's highly staged photography implying a slightly disturbing narrative. Nakadate brings that edge to photography and has lately ventured into film. In a score for the Intermedia Department, she speaks tonight. At PNCA www.pnca.edu 1241 NW Johnson Map 6:30PM Free
