Participants will learn about optics of the camera obscura\, aperture\, and depth of field. We will look at and discuss photographers that have used the pinhole camera towards diverse aims. With the assistance of cardboard boxes painted black\, participants will make photographs that bypass not only the camera lens but metadata\, the cloud\, the data center\, and the algorithm. Using darkroom chemistry\, participants will be invited to develop 4 by 5 and 8 by 10-inch silver gelatin prints. Art in the Park hopes that this demonstration of nineteenth and twentieth century photographic processes will provide a space for participants to consider image making in pre-digital times\, and to celebrate the life and career of an under-recognized artist. \nFor more information\, see the main page for Uncle George’s Cameras URL:https://artintheparkla.org/event/pinhole-camera-workshop-for-families/ LOCATION:Art in the Park\, 5568 Via Marisol Avenue\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90042\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artintheparkla.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/c7_uncle_george-crop-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Art in the Park":MAILTO:info@artintheparkla.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250322T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250322T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T055204 CREATED:20230228T224257Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250310T201219Z UID:3569-1742641200-1742648400@artintheparkla.org SUMMARY:Community Band DESCRIPTION:Art in the Park in Partnership with Neighborhood Music School  Presents\nCOMMUNITY BAND IN THE PARK\n\n\nCalling all musicians searching for a friendly\, all-ages\, music-making environment! \nCommunity Band will be led this week by multi-instrumentalist Monk Turner!

Being a source for bringing the community together brings him all the joy in the world\, whether it’s through live performance\, group teaching\, volunteer work\, or even just casual conversation with neighbors and friends.  \nHe currently studies at the Herb Alpert Music Center’s Applied Music Program at Los Angeles City College and has built a reputation for being the musical coordinator and saxophonist for salsa and latin jazz band\, Timba Tumbao.
