Here are pictures and some sketches by the one and only Steve Brodner that capture the spirit of our event.
Paula Lerner has posted some great photographs on her site: http://lernerphoto.com/icon/. Describing these photos Paula wrote: "Lately I have been using my digital camera like a sketch pad, and experimenting with the technique of using a slow shutter speed to get an impressionistic kind of image."
In the coming months we will be posting transcripts as well as information about the next event, so stay tuned!
