The Cartwheel Initiative Gallery Show

Last night, artists from The Cartwheel Initiative came to Foto Care for a gallery show. The show was a great success and quite eventful! There were silent auctions, a stop motion booth, food and drinks. The group was able to raise money for their trip to Sri Lanka later this summer to work with kids through a series of workshops in storytelling, filmmaking, photography, multimedia visual arts, and music composition. But, they still need your help. Visit The Cartwheel Initiative website here to donate to their cause.

Jay Maisel's Light, Color and Gesture

Jay Maisel

On Tuesday night, photographer Jay Maisel gave a talk at Foto Care on his latest work. It was great to hear from such an accomplished photographer and learn what elements are important to creating his work, like the use of light, embracing color and gesturing in photographs. After the talk, Jay took questions and attendees were able to talk to Jay one-on-one and take pictures.
