8×10: Eight ASMPDC Members for Ten Minutes Each

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Join us for our most popular program: 8×10, where eight of our fellow ASMPDC members have 10 minutes each to present the work of their choice—a recent assignment, a completed commercial job, a personal project, or a series of images that resonates with them. Don’t miss this lively evening from a diverse group of our fellow photographers as they show us their approach to the craft and business of making great images.
