Chris McCaw will be driving up from San Francisco with one of his uber-big handmade cameras (see photo above!) and will demonstrate his unique technique at location listed below*. At 2PM, Chris will speak at the Portland Art Museum. At 4:30, he will process the photograph he created at Newspace Center for Photography, and a reception follows. This will be so cool, I can't think of what else to say other than this will be so cool.
* Weather permitting, the photography demonstration will take place approximately between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. along the SW Park Avenue side of the Museum courtyard.
* What is "poutine" anyway? Don't worry, I had to look it up, too!
