Breath Taking: A Brief Discussion of Timelessness with Nikon’s Vincent Versace.  Thursday September 14th at 4pm in Santa Ana and Saturday September 16th at 2pm in Pasadena

“I fall I love a thousand times a day. Usually for about 1/125 of a second. I don’t believe in long relationships or long exposures”  —jay Maisel

Every artist has an instrument. But only photographers have a superpower, which is the power to freeze time. With the greatest photographs being the ones that have the feel of a breath held expectant. An instant of time when the photographer was so taken by the moment the gasp of awe of that moment caused the shutter to be released. The breath of the instant of time forever held in an image. Motion caught in stillness. A photographer holds within their hands something mightier than sword or pen, they wield a camera. But to use it effectively you need to understand the key elements that comprise an image.  This discussion will be about the gift of giving the echo of time, showing a moment of the past in the future to be the present every time it is seen.
