There's been some addition to MOPLA's list of lectures so we're gonna run through what's coming up this week.
+++ Friday (4/24) +++
Andrew Southam - The Singular Vision 7-9 pm
At a time when our culture is literally overwhelmed with imagery, the importance of personal viewpoint has never been greater. Almost everyone has access to a means of recording imagery. But how many of us are saying anything with it? Clients, Editors, Art Buyers, Gallerists and Dealers all want to know; what makes that picture your own? In this two-hour presentation, photographer Andrew Southam will present a selection of images and a discussion of select master photographers with absolutely personal points of view. What makes them their own? How can we strive to make our work more personal? How do you develop and refine a point of view? Andrew Southam will reference the work of 10 great photographers with a decisive vision.
+++ Saturday (4/25) +++
Art Streiber - The Big Picture (Editorial Photography Behind The Scenes) noon
Melvin Sokolsky - No Place Like Daydreams 2:30 pm
Robert Farber - Canon Explorer of Light 5:30-7:00 pm
Robert Farber's Lecture takes you through the evolution of a non traditional career path from its beginning, where he sold his photography on the street to how that evolved into a career of parallel growth, fashion/beauty, and fine art. His story goes from having his first book, published in 1976 of fine art nudes, while shooting men’s fashion covers for GQ, women’s beauty for Revlon, Ponds while at the same time exhibiting in Galleries. With a half a million fine art photography books sold, Farber, whose style has depended on the personality of film to capture his look, will show how he keeps that look with his transition into digital.

Mark McKenna, Director, Herb Ritts Jr. Foundation, will discuss the work of American fashion photographer Herb Ritts (1952-2002), whose classical and statuesque portraits and nudes evoked media figures of the 1990s and 2000s.
