Interpreting the Image
Charles Cramer
2:00 pm February 6, 2010
$10 admission for non-members*

“Interpreting a photographic image is dependent on how the human brain processes images,” says Cramer, a master printmaker with rare expertise in dye-transfer and digital printing. His presentation will include illustrations of his personal journey from black & white darkroom prints, through dye-transfer color printing, to his current method of digitally making inkjet prints.

Following in the footsteps of Ansel Adams, who said “the negative is the score and the  print is the performance,” Charles will focus on the importance of interpretation in “optimizing” an image, through techniques that make the image reflect more of what is “felt” in exposing a scene.
