This one day or two day workshop will guide you to getting fantastic images of Venice Carnival and the city itself. Starting at 8am to catch the early morning light and before the crowds build we will start with going through settings and equipment together with ideas for composition of images. We will then head in to St Marks Square and the lagoon front area for a session shooting the many carnival characters- some free time will also be given.
We then will proceed from St Marks Square to the Rialto area where we will have time for lunch (not included) and a debrief on the morning's activities. With it's bustling market and of course the fantastic Grand Canal and Rialto bridge this area is a vibrant and interesting location and again full instruction will be given on making the most of the opportunity.
We then head in to lesser known and quieter areas of Venice where we will look for some atmospheric images of the wonderful architecture and expect to meet up with more carnival characters in a more relaxed locations before heading back towards the St Marks's square area in time to capture the later afternoon and early evening light as it glances across the fantastic architecture and carnival characters. The workshop will conclude at around 6pm when you can then capture Venice in the evening, at night or do whatever you wish. Following the course, you will receive a full set of notes, hints and tips together with a link to view the images taken by the tutor, plus you can submit your images (up to 10) for a critique by the tutor withing 14 days.
If you have booked the two day workshop this covers the same format as this course on the first day but then moves on to capture more of Venice and the beatiful islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello on the second day. again concluding back in St Mark's square around 6pm.

Utica, NY. The Christmas/Holiday Season is a joyous time of the year. We celebrate with our families and friends sharing our love, providing hope, singing songs, and giving gifts. We have specially prepared holiday meals and delicious desserts. But for many people, holidays are a time full of stress, maybe only a wish and not a reality when you cannot afford the Food for the special Christmas Dinner. And this year, many people are being challenged because of the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID19). It is causing long-term problems, as we are currently in the second wave of the COVID19. Due to the large increase of COVID-19 cases, with many people in the hospital, some social distancing restrictions include limiting travel and not attending large gatherings even in your own residence. In fact, many are faced with paying rent, the National Grid bill, or putting food on the table. We, as a community, are working together to fight hunger and food insecurity. Thanks to the Mohawk Valley COVID-19 Respond Fund created by the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and the United Way of the Mohawk Valley, established a single community-wide fund. The Johnson Park Center (JPC) received COVID-19 Respond Fund Grant Awards to provide food to the community. With the generous support from the Food Bank of Central New York (FBCNY) and Donors, JPC will have a Drive-Thru Food Giveaway for disadvantaged individuals and families around JPC Sites Rain-Snow or Shine on Monday, December 15, 2020, from 2 pm to 7:30 pm.
Starting on the corner of Arthur and West Streets, cars/vehicles will line up at the registration station where JPC Intake Persons, wearing face masks, will assist you with completing the Intake Form. They will place the number of households represented in each car on its windshield. Then you will drive up to each Food station, where volunteers will put the food in your car/vehicle.
If you do not have a car/vehicle, please come to the Walkers Food Giveaway Rain-Snow or Shine on Tuesday, December 15, 2020, between 3 pm to 6 pm at JPC Food Pantry 1404 West Street, Utica, New York 13501
A tractor-trailer full of food will be available to be given to the community. Food items may include chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, fresh produce, fresh fruit, rice, pasta, cereal, canned items such as soup, beans, etc.
During these challenging times of the pandemic, by fighting hunger and food insecurity, the JPC Food Giveaway helps families & individuals to have food for Christmas, be food secured, and a stepping stone to self-sufficiency.
Please join us as we need additional sponsors, donors, volunteers, and media to make long-term commitments to fight hunger and food insecurity. To all who made investments and partnered with JPC this year, you are amazing. JPC is so grateful and appreciative of your dedication to serving families, children, and single individuals in need.
