Lima, OH – As part of our Downtown Lima “More Than You Know” Photography Competition, professional photographer Jason Bowers is leading a series of 3 free photography workshops over the summer. Our next shoot night, on July 14th, will feature an inside look at two historical buildings in downtown Lima – Trinity United Methodist Church and Memorial Hall.
On Thursday, July 14th, 6 pm, attendees should meet at The Meeting Place on Market (220 West Market Street). The night will begin with a short question and answer session, and then move to Trinity United Methodist Church, where participants will have the opportunity to take pictures inside the historical building. After some time there, the group will move to Memorial Hall, where photos can also be taken.
The workshops are not required to participate in the competition, but they offer anyone, regardless of skill level, training in photography techniques. To join the workshops, no registration is required. Just bring your camera and your questions. All workshops are free and open to the public. Junior high age and older welcome!
Jason Bowers graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1998 with a BS in Journalism and concentration in Photojournalism. He worked as a photographer for several newspapers and transitioned into freelance work, discovering that he truly enjoyed working for himself. Jason says, “Over the years, because I’ve had opportunities to photograph so many interesting people, places, and events it’s hard for me to imagine doing anything else. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to do what I enjoy for a living.”
The first annual Downtown Lima More Than You Know Photography Competition will accept photographs from both amateurs and professionals throughout the month of August. Photographs must be taken within downtown Lima during 2011. On September 29th, a reception will be held to showcase the photographs, and a $200 best in show prize will be given, as well as 9 first place awards in the categories of people, places and things. The photographs will be on display throughout downtown Lima in October. For complete rules, visit http://www.downtownlimaohio.com
