Alternate Photo Processes

For our November meeting, we’ll have presentations by:

  • Ken Schaefer, who does photograms of native plants as well as 3-D and 2-D abstracts utilizing photograms
  • Don Marks, who works with 3-D imagery

    3D Stereo Photography is fun, not too difficult, and very interesting. Seeing is believing, of course, and you’ll see examples (and some "how-to" info) that may inspire you to try your hand at it—even without a "stereo" camera.

  • Larry Grygienc, who is currently working with digital infrared

On-Campus Directions

Room 1121 is on the west end of the Des Plaines campus, so the closest parking will be in Lot A. Lot A is also the lot of choice since the entrance to Lot D is under construction, so anyone parking in Lot D has to walk around to another entrance just to get in.

Once parked in the west end of Lot A, walk up the sidewalk that goes around the swamp, and go up to the entrance with the sculpture of the upside-down man. Once in the building, go to the first corridor on the left, go through the double doors (you’ll be greeted with the smell of photo chemicals), and hang a right into room 1121, also known as the PhotoStudio/Classroom.

If you get lost, just look for the two Ansel Adams prints on the wall of the main walkway , and you’ll know you’re close to the correct room.

The phone number of room 1121 is (847) 635-1841.

The Museum will be open Saturday, November 15th from 10am-2pm, Thursday, November 20th from 12-4 pm and Friday, November 21st from 12-4 pm for pick-up.  If someone wants to come at a time other than these, they can call to see if Amanda Hanson might be available to be there.  Mondays are not an option, but she will be there on some Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You can call (847) 677-6672 to check her availability.

In September the Museum had approximately 223 visitors, and in October there were 652 visitors due to exhibits, programs, tour groups and the Village Open House.  So the exhibit did get quite a few viewers.
