Sam Abell to speak this Thursday - Free to students!

SAM ABELL - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC and CANON EXPLORER OF LIGHT

Thursday, December 2, at 7 PM.

"A mad, keen photographer needs to get out into the world and work and
make mistakes."
Sam Abell

Sam Abell began shooting for National Geographic Magazine in 1970, and
in a publication where the highest quality work is the norm, his stood
out from the beginning.

A Canon Explorer of Light, he has photographed projects all over the
world - some of which have become legendary among photographers.
Abell's work manages to be (at least) three things at once: first-rate
photojournalism, beautiful and beautifully composed, and poetic and
moving.

Abell has also developed a highly-regarded career as a speaker and
teacher, mentoring countless photographers for many years, including
at the Maine and Santa Fe Workshops. As composed as one of his
images, clear-eyed, and passionate, he is able to convey what makes
images work - and what helps them fail - in ordinary language that
anyone at any level can understand.

Whether you're an experienced pro or a student, and no matter what
kinds of images you produce, you'll receive something from hearing
Abell talk that is rare and energizing. One of the most exciting
speakers ever to come to Los Angeles, he will also be giving a
workshop the weekend following his talk at the Julia Dean Photo
Workshops: http://juliadean.com.

The author of several books, you can watch Abell discuss his work at
the Geographic:

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING - Free to LBCC Students

Here is a great event that is free to LBCC photo students:

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

BY ROSH SILLARS

No secret that social media and all kinds of new marketing are a big part of the future - and the present.

Eighty percent of people with internet access (and who would the rest be?) go first to the Web to find information about people, products, and organizations.

Blogs, podcasts, social media, and Web 2.0 tools each offer opportunities to level the playing field to earn the attention of new prospects - and keep the attention of people who are already your clients.

New internet tools and applications are being introduced almost every day, designed to help individuals and companies tell their story through digital marketing and personal branding.

Rosh will do more than just name tools. He'll tell you why you need them and help you think about developing a plan based on best practices for using the Web 2.0.

These are the same tools that have helped Rosh attract new clients and grow his own photography business. He is, after all, one of us, a veteran photographer with a photojournalism background who specializes in people, food, and interiors.

Rosh offers his services to traditional media, new media, and corporate clients. He owns the creative representation firm, The Rosh Group Inc. and teaches photography at two universities.

Rosh has been online since the early 1990s. He recorded his first podcast (audio over the internet) in 1999 and has co-hosted the Prosperous Artists podcast and blog with writer Dean LaDouceur since early 2007. Other projects include Citynet Magazine (2000-2001) and mysuccessradio.com (2003-2004). He is also social media consultant for Detroit based Synectics Media.

Rosh has co-authored a book, Linked Photographer - Social Media for Photographers (with Lindsey Adler), due out this Spring.

Check him out at www.roshsillars.com and www.newmediaphotographer.com.

THERE WILL BE DOOR PRIZES, FOOD, and DRINK.

TIME: 7:00 PM (Doors open at 6:30)
