Nigel Poor, Exploded Pen San Quentin Parking Lot, 2019/2021
”I have a personal habit of collecting things people leave behind, and the parking lot at San Quentin State Prison has become my hunting ground, a place full of intriguing left-behind bits and pieces.” - Nigel Poor
On April 12th, SF Camerawork welcomed photographer and educator Nigel Poor to lead the monthly members’ critique. The critiques are a great opportunity to receive feedback on your photographic practice and to see what other SF Camerawork members are working on.
Each month, we we will offer a new opportunity to present work in a critique on a first-come, first-served basis. Upcoming critiques will be posted to our Upcoming Events & Workshops Page.
