Poetics of Photography with Bil Brown

Leica Store San Francisco

Join artist Bil Brown for a day of looking, walking, making, and conversation at Leica Store San Francisco.

San Francisco is the one American city where photography and poetry share a street address. Adams, Weston, and Cunningham worked here. So did Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, and Kerouac. Around North Beach, these histories continue to meet.

The day begins with a presentation on “The Photograph as a Poem,” followed by a conversation between Bil Brown and artist Dave Herring. We will then head out for a guided photowalk through North Beach to City Lights. After the walk, we will gather for a photo review and conversation, sharing images made during the afternoon and reflecting on what we saw, what we left out, and how a photograph can hold a sense of place.
