Spreading
Sunshine in China:
An Unforgettable Journey for Chicago Photographers
It
may seem like a pilot for a reality TV show: 10 seasoned ASMP
photographers (nine from Chicago) are invited by the Shandong
Provincial government to document the eastern coast port city of Rizhao
in China for seven days. During this whirlwind one-week experience, the
photographers immersed themselves in the mysterious culture, the rich
history and the industrious people of Rizhao which means "Sunshine."
Each evening, these seasoned pros shared their work with each other for
open and honest critiques. Fueled by these new discoveries and
insights, the self nicknamed "Sunshiners" hit the streets creating
high-quality, beautiful images that grew more incredible as each day
passed. What started as an once-in-a-lifetime trip to photograph,
evolved into an unforgettable journey to grow as photographers with the
resounding support of a community.
During
this open forum, the group will share its images from the journey along
with stories and insights. There will be time for questions and answers
about the trip and about the ASMP. Delicious Chinese edibles will be
prepared by Calumet''s neighbor Kendall College.
The
Sunshiners include: Elie Berkman, Dirk Fletcher, Frank McMahon, Eric
Futran, Lee Balgemann, David Seide, Marc Hauser, Sylvia Plachy, Ron
Gould and Karen Hirsch.
