All,
I had the pleasure to see Cole's presentation several weeks ago and have to say it was one of the most inspirational presentations I have ever seen on the essence of photography. This is NOT just about black and white but how to create you OWN voice in photography. This is truly a can't miss.

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
Coles 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.
Bio:

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.”
