Take your photography to the next level. Find your strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has both!!! This year’s Photography Expo was the hardest ever to be juried in. Usually 40 to 50 photographers enter, this year there were 76. There were over 200 entries and only 50 photographs were accepted. Almost everyone who took the review last year was accepted into the exhibition. Ken Goodfellow our first place winner this year took the review and stated he followed Richard’s instructions to the letter.

Testimonial by Photographer Ken Goodfellow. Ken took the class March 29th, 2009

“It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Johnson on my portfolio review, never having one before it was well worth the time spent. The review of my images before meeting Richard was an added bonus since he already had an understanding of what I was presenting, and had completed written material for me to go over.

Richard’s communication of what should be worked on to present portfolios, besides discussing the images, was very detailed and knowledge worth learning. I would highly recommend a review as lessons learned for me from a technical and business perspective can be put into practice immediately”.

For the month of December the main gallery will display original prints by established artists such as Samella Lewis, Tomie Arai, Juan Sanchez, Yung Soon Min, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland, and Paul F.

Families are encouraged to introduce their children to the media of print though the exhibition and hands-on learning activities. Volunteer printmaking majors from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts will lead children (3-12 years of age) in relief printmaking. In addition to creating art to take home, examples of the children’s prints will be displayed at the gallery during “Print Out.” The experience of creating and exhibiting original prints in an established art gallery will be one to be enjoyed by the entire family.
