"Cole Thompson is uniquely unqualified to speak on photography.
I’ve never taken a photography class or a workshop. I don’t have a degree in art. I’ve never worked as a photographer. I don’t have gallery representation. I’m not a Canon Explorer of Light. And I only have three lenses and none of them are primes.
Do I have any qualifications?       Just one…my images. Nothing else matters.”

 

   Presentation Description: Why Black and White?

In about one hour Cole Thompson will make the case that black and white is the perfect medium for any subject…except for one. Cole will show work from his various portfolios including:
     The Ghosts of Auschwitz-Birkenau
     Harbinger
     Ceiling Lamps
     Moai, Sitting for Portrait
     The Lone Man
     And others
 
Interspersed between the images Cole will share his photographic philosophies, such as:
     Never listen to others
     Photographic Celibacy
     Cole's Rule of Thirds
     Equipment is overrated
     Vision is the most important tool in my toolbox
     And many others!
 
At the end of his presentation Cole will answer questions and give away a print of The Angel Gabriel.
