Fall Artist-In-Residence Carl Weese is a professional photographer who has spent his career working both in commercial & editorial photography for a wide range of clients and also self-assigned, long-form documentary projects. The subjects of these independently produced projects range from street shooting to “documentary landscape.”His current large documentary project centers on the American Drive-in Theater and the relationship of these iconic structures to the varied terrain of the American regional landscape. This is planned for a book production that will combine the photographs with a history of the theaters and extensive interviews with the owners and managers of drive-ins that still survive into the twenty-first century.  Weese has funded his extensive cross-country road trips to photograph drive-ins through an exceptionally successful Kickstarter campaign.Carl will be in residence at the Firehouse Cultural Center October 14– 21.  During the week he will be documenting the Ruskin Drive-In and creating a small body of work from the Ruskin environs, conducting a photography workshop and demos as well as a Visiting Artist Talk and a Project Development Shop/Talk session for Artists, Performers, Writers, Educators.  His workshop session is a two-day weekend intensive.-MEET CARL WEESE & HIS WORK                                                  Artist Talk &Talk-Back, Monday, October 15 -7pm-Master Class:  Digital Photography Intensive                          A 2-Day Workshop with Carl Weese-Informal Shop-Talk Session: Developing & Supporting Large Scale Projects; Wednesday, Oct. 17, 6:30pm-Large Format Camera Demo, Thursday - Oct 18, 4:30pm -6pm    Digital Photography 2-Day Intensive 281.49 MEMBER: Digital Photography 2-Day Intensive 250.89 Demo - Large Format- Reservation 0.00
