1. PROGRAM:
Black and White Photography with Jeff Dixon
Unlock the timeless power of monochrome with Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Dixon. With a storied career spanning more than 45 years at The Lawton Constitution beginning in 1965, Jeff has captured everything from historic presidential visits to the intimate, quiet moments of southwest Oklahoma life.
In this lesson, you’ll learn from a veteran who honed his craft in the era of chemical darkrooms and film engraving before becoming a respected digital storyteller. Jeff will guide you through the “quiet” side of photography—discovering the extraordinary in everyday scenes through light, shadow, contrast, and texture.
This is a rare opportunity to learn from the recipient of the 2006 Lawton Arts and Humanities Artist of the Year award and one of Oklahoma’s most accomplished visual storytellers.
2. PHOTO SHOW AND TELL:
If you’d like to share a few of your photos for the group to enjoy, please email them to WichitaWildlight@gmail.com no later than two days before the meeting. Send your photos as .jpg files, if possible, and be sure to include the word SHOW in the subject line—otherwise, we might miss your email!
