Managing Photographic Archives with Eric William Carroll
Managing Photographic Archives with Eric William Carroll
September 26th & October 24th
Two sessions held on Thursday from 7 pm - 9 pm EDT via Zoom.
Whether it be your own personal photo library, a family collection or an institutional archive, there are certain practices that will make the organization, navigation and preservation of your archive easier for yourself & others to use. In the session, Eric will go through the seldom-discussed details of filenames, metadata and software that can help get your archives organized & create systems that will make finding & retrieving images a breeze. A month later, after you have had time to practice, this mini-workshop will meet a second time to discuss the pro’s, con’s, and other observations when we try to apply these practices to our own photo collections.
Kinship uses a pay-what-you-can honor system with a minimum donation or $20. The average contribution for a mini-workship is $50. Please give as generously as you can. If you cannot afford the minimum contribution of $20 please don't hesitate to request a scholarship.
Eric William Carroll’s work on photography, science, and nature explores the differences in how we experience, represent, and organize the world. Through his photographs, installations, and performances, Carroll creates visual and emotional connections that span enormous distances in space and time. At the heart of his practice is a genuine sense of curiosity that questions traditional binary relationships.
Carroll’s work has been shown widely and has been included in exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Aperture Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Pier 24 Photography, among others. Carroll has participated in residencies with the MacDowell Colony, Rayko Photo Center and the Blacklock Nature Sanctuary, and was the winner of the 2012 Baum Award for Emerging Photographers. Born and raised in the Midwest, Carroll currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
