Group Trip to the Tate Modern's "Capturing The Moment" Exhibit
Details
What does it mean to "capture the moment" to painters vs. photographers?
This event is not a photowalk but a chance to visit an exhibit together with like-minded photographers and discuss it afterwards. It explores the influence that painting has had on photography and vice-versa. Both the brush and the lens are often used to so-called "capture the moment". From a mindfulness perspective, this is particularly interesting because painters are arguably much more intentional than photographers about what they are pointing out.
