Black & White in the Blue Ridge

BLACK & WHITE in the BLUE RIDGE is for film photographers to gather to celebrate Black & White (and Color) film photography in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Event lectures and demonstrations will be held in the Fallon Community Hall at the Floyd Center for the Arts, next door to The Appalachian Center for Photography.  It's a spacious, well-lit space crafted with locally harvested and milled wood. There will be tables to display prints, camera gear for sale or trade, etc. An elevator and bathrooms are nearby.

The gathering’s organizers, Jim Andrachi, Chris Coffey and Russ Young have a combined experience of more than a century in retail, commercial and academic photography. There will be lectures and demonstrations mid-day on Friday and Saturday with free time in mornings and afternoons for taking photographs. If there is sufficient interest, Russ will lead a car tour one afternoon to scenic locations for landscape photographers.…
