📚☕ Brews & Cameras: Morning Sit ’n Chill

Join us Saturday, February 28 from 10:00–11:30am for a slower kind of meetup.

We’re gathering at Red Silo Coffee Roasters on Platte Street in LoHi for coffee, conversation, and inspiration. No photo walk this time. Just good company and great work.

Bring one of your favorite photo books to share. Something that’s influenced you. Something you return to. Or something you just picked up and can’t stop thinking about. We’ll flip pages, talk process, swap ideas, and enjoy a relaxed morning together over coffee, tea, or a latte.

Sometimes the best way to grow as photographers isn’t shooting more, but looking more. Slowing down. Paying attention.

If you’ve been meaning to connect with the community, this is an easy one to join. Come as you are.

We’re stoked to be meeting up again at Novel Strand Brewing! Come join us as we play around with portraits. Bring a light source, experiment with natural light, or just observe and take some notes.

Grab a coffee at Little Owl Coffee at the Populus Hotel and head up to the second floor at 10 am.  At 11 am, we will walk around civic center, photographing and enjoying each other’s company.   At noon, we will end the photo walk at CPAC, where a photo swap will be taking place.  Please bring a few prints to trade, and have fun meeting other photographers and see their work.

We're planning on visiting Valhall Arts in Fort Collins this Saturday (03/08 @ 1pm) to check out "Silver and Salt," an exhibition celebrating the artistry of historical photographic processes.

The exhibition showcases the tactile beauty of analog photography, featuring works created using techniques such as wet plate collodion, platinum, salted paper, toned cyanotypes, and gelatin silver prints. Curated by Laura Cofrin, it brings together 16 contemporary artists from across the nation who are keeping these historic methods alive.

This meetup won't necessarily involve a photo walk, but we may head over to Stodgy Brewing Company afterward to hang and talk about the show.
