Kathleen Carr is one of Hawaii's many talented photographers, and from time to time she offers special courses and workshops. This November, she is going to hold a seven day photography workshop for women who would like to learn more about this art. For details and registration, see the info below.
Kathleen Thormod Carr is a fine art photographer, author and teacher. She received her B.F.A. (cum laude) in Photography from Ohio University in 1970. When awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Regional Fellowship in 1991, she further explored handcoloring black and white photography. Her fine art work has been widely exhibited at galleries and museums, and purchased for the Polaroid collection and other private collections.
Kathleen's photographs have been published internationally in numerous books and periodicals, including PhotoVision (featured artist), Outdoor Photographer (featured artist), National Geographic Traveler, Islands, Esquire and Decor (featured artist). Her last book, Polaroid Manipulations: A Complete Visual Guide to Creating SX-70, Transfer, and Digital Prints (Amphoto Books, September 2002), is a companion volume to Polaroid Transfers: A Complete Visual Guide to Creating Image and Emulsion Transfers (Amphoto Books, 1997), which has sold over 30,000 copies.
Kathleen takes a fresh look at the world around her and translates her vision and felt experience into her photographic work. Whatever photographic medium she works in, her photography speaks to the viewer on emotional and spiritual levels. In her own words, "I am fascinated by the energy I sense within the forms I am photographing. Using a variety of techniques, I experiment with ways to express this presence more tangibly. Caring deeply about nature, especially when I see such environmental destruction in the world, I want my photography to inspire people to honor the earth and all who live upon it."

We're working on something a little different for his next visit, which will likely be in March. So be sure to keep an eye out for further info. And help us keep Lance coming out to do these classes by spreading the word! Canon needs to know that Lance's valuable time is being well spent, so help us keep these classes full!

“Images of East Hawaii”
What: Exhibit of Photography – “Images of East Hawaii”
Who: Ken and Mary Goodrich
Where: Lighthaus Camera, 74-5614 Palani Road, Kona
When: August 5 through September 30, 2011
Lighthaus Camera has recently opened their new gallery with some of Hawaii Island’s best photography. The work of two Volcano photographers, Ken and Mary Goodrich, will be on display at Lighthaus Camera now through September 30. The exhibit is titled, “Images of East Hawaii” and have been taken on the East side of the Big Island and in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Though they often work together in the same locations, both photographers have different points of view. Ken Goodrich has eloquently photographed places of power and beauty, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Ken is current President of the Hilo Photography Club and has won numerous awards in photography competitions for his landscapes and images of the people of Hawaii. Many of his nature shots are woven into multi-media presentations utilizing projected imagery choreographed to music.
Mary Goodrich photographs the landscape, botanicals and enjoys finding abstractions in Nature. She has been a photographer for over 25 years. She formerly worked in a black and white darkroom to produce her prints, some of which are hand painted with oils. More recently, she has been using digital equipment and Photoshop. Her work has been seen in B&W and COLOR Magazines and she recently won 2nd Place in Architecture in an international competition sponsored by Hahnemuhle digital printing papers. Speaking of her work, she says, “I like finding quirky things in the environment, like a face in a rock or unusual patterns made by water or plants. These elements are like old friends. I see shapes and lines that I recognize as though they are in pictures I’ve already taken”.
Lighthaus Camera is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. For information call Lighthaus at (808) 326-7025 or Mary Goodrich, (808) 985-7487.

Canon Photography Workshop
In addition to the photography classes we have coming up this weekend, Lance Folden, Canon Product Educator, will be visiting the stores again at the end of September to put on a free workshop for our customers. Lance is a great guy to talk to and his visits are always quite educational. These free workshops are a great opportunity to learn more about the Canon DSLR products that you may already have or are interested in getting, as wells as to help polish some basic camera skills.
Keep in mind, this workshop will be quite different from the upcoming Maui classes on Saturday and Sunday, and will be strictly Canon-oriented. The workshops held by Lance are of a more general informational scope, while the classes taught by Krystle will be a much more in-depth teaching of actual photography techniques.
Last time, Lance taught us all how to navigate and properly use our external speedlites and about how different lenses can affect our photography. This time, we'd like some feedback from you as to what you'd be most interested in learning from Lance. Check out the course descriptions below and vote in our poll to help us decide! Then head over to our Facebook page and RSVP for the seminar being held at your location if you'd like to attend!
