From Street to Print
A Guided Photowalk & Print Reveal

Most photowalks end with the photograph. This experience continues beyond that point, focusing on the transition from image to print, and the role of archival materials in creating work that is meant to last.

From Street to Print is a guided street photography experience through Vancouver. We spend the time making photographs, but with a deeper attention to what we are creating. The focus is not on keeping everything, but on returning to the work and selecting one image from the day to carry forward as a finished archival print. Not a collection, but a decision. Something that exists physically, with presence.

Rise and shine, Its May! The sunrise is at 5:47am and the weather looks fabulous! This means that perfect glow, that soft warm morning light will start flowing across the sidewalks and illuminating shop windows in Chinatown around 7:00am.

Beginning and ending at Victory Square (corner of West Hastings & Cambie Street) with curated stops along the way (approximately 4 km).

We will head right into Chinatown, taking advantage of what is only available in the early morning. That beautiful morning glow, the light is low and soft, coming from the east, carrying a tone of warmth. While most of the city is still asleep or slowly waking, we take advantage of it as photographers. Bakery doors around chinatown begin to open, and the markets extend onto the sidewalks, the city gradually takes form.

This is where we pay attention to our surroundings, availible light, and how people move through and interact with the environment.

This is a small group experience, designed for attention and conversation.

Each participant will receive one museum quality, fully archival fine art print of their photograph.

This experience concludes with a print reveal and group discussion, where the work is seen, held, and understood in a different way.
