Seeing Becomes Love
Daytime Group: September 16th - October 21st
Wednesday 10:30 am - 12:00 pm ET for 6 weekly sessions
Evening Group: September 17th - October 22nd
Thursday 7 - 8:30 pm ET for 6 weekly sessions
Now more than ever, we need new ways to fall in love with the world. Photography offers us a path. Through the quality of our attention, we open ourselves to new ways of seeing and being in relationship with the wider world. For this six-week practice, we will reinterpret and repurpose relationship literature on romantic love to create prompts that invite us to court our subjects — a forest, a stranger, a stretch of light — with the same patience and curiosity we'd bring to any relationship of substance.
Archiving Time With Time in the Archive with Lyn Swett Miller
September 8th - October 13th, 2026
Tuesdays, 6-7:30pm EDT (6 Weeks) on Zoom
How might spending time in our archives reveal hidden narratives about time itself? Might abstractions offer views into deep time? Might our earliest images of family reveal long-buried memories? In this continued exploration of objects as portals to memory and meaning, Archiving Time With Time in the Archive is an invitation to hang out with and excavate meaning from past photographs.
Slow Looking: A Practice of Observation with Liz Titone
September 28th, 2026 - November 9th (Skipping October 12th)
Mondays 6:30 - 8 pm EDT - 6 sessions on Zoom
Over six weeks, we will develop a Slow Looking practice we carry into the field and into the editing and sequencing that follows, sitting with an image long enough to quiet the inner critic and make room for curiosity. Deep listening becomes part of how we look, both at our work and at the work of other artists.
Working Copy: Developing a Photographer's Writing Practice with Erik Mace
October 19th, 2026 - November 23rd, 2026
Mondays 6 -7:30 pm EDT for 6 weeks on Zoom
A working copy, by definition, isn't done yet. This group is for photographers who want writing to become a consistent, ongoing part of their practice, people who suspect language might be able to do something their camera can't, and who want to find out what.
Bodies in Time: Expanding the Self through Self-Portraiture with Frances Bukovsky
October 1st - November 5th, 2026
Thursdays, 5:30-7:30 pm EDT (6 Weeks) on Zoom
What if self-portraiture could be a process that, rather than being centered on the self, expanded the relational web the self exists in? Bodies in Time: Expanding the Self through Self-Portraiture, is an invitation to explore how self-portraiture as a practice can reveal, shift, and offer insight into the unique ways that our own bodies inhabit identities, relationships, and places, within the context of time.
Slow Looking: A Practice of Observation with Liz Titone
May 28 - July 2nd 2026
Thursdays, 7 - 8:30 pm EDT for 6 weeks
This practice group treats Slow Looking as an inquiry into Kinship's three doorways: Deep Time, Inhabited Time, and Time-out-of-Time. By staying with images long enough for meaning to shift and settle, we ask how photographs might make our relationship to time more visible, and what it reveals when we let that relationship remain open, playful, and unresolved.
Rhythm & Ritual: marking time through daily ritual with Megan Driving Hawk
Begins May 21st (runs for 12-months)
Thursdays, 1:00-3:00 pm EDT (Full)
How can ritual become a portal through which one can access deep time, inhabited time, and time-out-of time simultaneously? In this practice group we will develop unique field guides to create authentic daily ritual practices attuned with seasonal rhythms. We will find inspiration in short readings and quotes on themes of legacy, seasonal time, memory, ancestral memory, reciprocity, spiritual time and poetic time.
Bodies in Time with Frances Bukovsky
May 21 - June 18th, 2026 (Full)
Thursdays, 6-8 pm EDT (5 Weeks)
How do we experience time within our bodies? The human social world seems to move to a fixed linear clock, yet we inhabit time in a diverse variety of entangled timelines and cycles. In what ways do our bodies influence the ways we move through time? And how might your photography practice be an extension of your body's way of interpreting time?
Time in Concept and Scale with Dale Rio
June 18 - July 16th (Full)
Thursdays, 7 - 9 pm EDT for 5 weeks.
Photography is a time-based medium, and its ability to distill action into a single frame is best summed up in the concept of the “decisive moment.” But how else can the passage of time be expressed through still photography? And what types of time scales can be explored through the medium? In this practice group, we’ll discuss strategies by which we can depict atypical time scales and concepts photographically.
Spiraling Through Time: A Year of Slow Practice with Kaye Savage
Begins May 19th (Group is Full)
Third Tuesday of the month, 7 - 8:30 pm EDT (for 12 sessions)
This practice group will meet monthly for the full year, providing opportunities for sustained attention to long-term projects, a fresh start each month, or a combination. The rhythm of the group will provide intentional space for expansive practice as well as project and/or portfolio development. Prompts and questions will encourage exploration of the sub-themes of the Deep Time doorway.
Keeping Time: Contemplative Photography and the Art of Stewardship with Susan Patrice
May 26th - June 30th 2026 (Full)
Tuesdays, 7 - 8:30 pm EDT for 6 weeks
This six-session practice group offers an introduction to contemplative photography practices that help us attune and synchronize with the timing, rhythms, and cadence of the places and more-than-human kin we photograph.Together, we will ponder whether repeatedly attending to the same place over time can awaken new levels of curiosity, wonder, and magic while inspiring new ways of seeing and caring.
