Buying and Shooting Vintage / Film Cameras
7:00pm to 9:00pm128 West Hastings St.

Vancouver
Like most things analog, film photography has been enjoying a resurgence lately. If you're interested in shooting with film cameras but don't know where to find them or what to look for, this course might help. Come learn how to tell a gem from a dud when camera-hunting at garage sales and flea markets for everything from SLRs right down to the 'plastic fantastics'! (This course is more about buying than shooting, but we'll cover some necessary basics at the beginning that will help in your hunt.)
About the teacher, Stephanie Faye
Hello, I'm Steph. I have a fondness for graphic design, an addiction to vintage photography, and a strange obsession with package design, branding and hand-lettering. I have what some might consider a rather unhealthy collection of cameras (going on 30 now) ranging from the 1940s to present day, all of which I use. I also have an Etsy store called Giveable Greetings where I sell bad puns in greeting card format and various other paper-y things. Come hang out and talk about cameras! It'll be fun!

About the teacher, Yuriko Iga
Yuriko Iga was born in Winnipeg and raised in Calgary with Japanese parentage. Her experience of the traditional Japanese house and family, combined with her work in the contemporary art field, have led her toward a broadened conception of art as the creation of installation or social space always ignoring the boundary between art, multi-media, design, and life. A graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design, Yuriko’s many artistic endeavours include running a cafe/gallery in Calgary called Kisaten from 1994–1996; working with the collective Colours for Industry on a multi-media dance piece called Microluft ; and curating a music event called Squibb. Now based out of Vancouver, Yuriko’s recent project is called Blim. Blim is a Community Based Art Resource Center which facilitates screen-printing, button making, drawing, local emerging artists, creative workshops, and crafts in the independent field. Blim also hosts the Blim Market, which is a monthly craft event that houses local handmade craft, art, vintage, and organisations. Blim has been active for 9 years and has now moved to a larger location in historic Chinatown. Yuriko is also an active member of the Powell Street Festival Programming Committee.
