Yojiro will be giving a talk about his creative process and the inspiration for his current work\, Botanic Gardens. \n“Ever since I started photographing\, I have always been passionate about natural landscapes as my main subject matter. For my most recent series of work\, I photographed using a 19th-century photographic method called “Wet Plate Collodion.” I plan to use the same technique during the TBG artist residency. \nA thin glass negative reflects the vulnerability of nature\, spreading awareness to society that we must conserve the earth that surrounds us and keep our future green. I aim to connect and inspire people with plants by promoting the significance of Botanic Gardens while using the natural elements of photography. One of my main objectives when presenting my work is to leave a lasting impression on the viewer in regard to the natural world.Botanic Gardens is a project I’ll be doing long term\, I think it’s important to highlight the difference in gardens around the globe. The Tucson Botanical Gardens is very enticing given its desert landscape which makes it very unique and an important part of the Botanic Gardens project.” \n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming Classes\n\n\n\n\n \n\nTalks \n\n The Photography of Yojiro Imasaka \nApril 13 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am \n \n \n\n\n \n\nSpecial\, Family \n\n Earth Day Celebration \nApril 20 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm \n \n \n\n\n \n\n2150 Club \n\n Tending Tucson (2150 Club) \nApril 21 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm URL:https://localyardandgarden.com/event/the-photography-of-yojiro-imasaka LOCATION:Porter Hall CATEGORIES:Talks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://localyardandgarden.com/wp-content/uploads/dbg-11-20-7OovkJ.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20240413T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20240413T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T122033 CREATED:20240213T212133Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240413T043654Z UID:9402-1713027600-1713038400@localyardandgarden.com SUMMARY:Jazz Under the Stars DESCRIPTION:Jazz Under the Stars is back for the Winter/Spring season and kicks off on on Friday\, February 23rd!
