CDIA Photography Student Featured in Local Paper

adennis — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:30:37 +0000

A local paper to the DC/Virginia area, the Sun Gazette, featured one of CDIA’s very own photography students, Dean Souleles.

Dean recently had his first solo show displayed at Katie’s Coffee House, located at 760 Walker Road next to the Old Brogue.

“Most of these images stem from a February 2011 photo workshop he participated in at Yellowstone. He and nine other photographers awoke before sunrise each day and rode snowmobiles into different parts of the park.”

“It’s gratifying knowing I can translate a feeling I had in the field and make sure it resonates with the viewer.” -Dean

Photo gear swapfest & sale!

adennis — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:46:32 +0000

Saturday February 4th, 2012, 12:00–4:00pm

Do you have “extra” photo gear laying about taking up space? Maybe you are looking for a bit of ‘new’ gear at a great price? We have the event for you! Yes, it’s time once again to sell or swap your extra photography gear or buy new toys at the annual CIPNE Photo Bazaar and Swap Fest. At this free event sellers can set up tables where you’ll be able to show what you have to swap/sell. Swapping is a great win-win situation, so bring a list of what you want to get and what you have to give/swap.

Items available may range from inexpensive filters (a few dollars) all the way up to expensive studio lights and camera bodies + lenses ($1000+).

Sellers: **Please bring your own table.** Research beforehand fair market prices for your gear so they will be more likely to be sold. Consider bringing a friend to help you sell if you want to walk around and buy. In the spirit of cooperation, fairness, and goodwill, be forthcoming in indicating the true condition of gear, and any defects, when asked.

Buyers: Research beforehand fair market prices for gear that you want to buy (it’s also useful to bring along a B&H catalog for reference!). Bringing cash and checks are a good idea. Show a list of gear that you want to buy; maybe someone will know where it is available.

From a happy and successful previous seller:

“The first year I pulled some gear together at the last moment to sell, and with little thought. When I arrived, I barely had things out of the bags and people were already questioning me as to what I wanted for the items. I sold everything, and wished I had been more organized, started earlier -AND brought more items! Start preparing early!! The next year, I was more on top of things, and brought far more. I sold everything – once again; two old cameras, and old backdrop, filters, a broken photo umbrella, some gadgets that I barely understood, and on and on. If it had to do with photography, and I wasn’t using it – I sold it!“

Disclaimer: The CIPNE Photo Bazaar and Swapfest is organized and run under the spirit of cooperation and fairness. CIPNE and anyone associated with CIPNE is not liable for any swapping or selling transactions that result in any problems or issues. Participation in this event is under the doctrine of “buyer beware”.

Bimal Nepal, current CDIA photography student, had his image selected by National Geographic as a contest winner of their monthly contest, “Your Shot.” Bimal’s shot was selected from hundreds of thousands of photographers, and is now published on National Geographic’s Stock Photography site.

Bimal describes himself as a street photographer. “I have been capturing people, nature, landscapes and my own personal history for years. I am drawn to the act of discovery, to emotion, and to memory, and documenting those moments. I know the power of a photograph, the magic way it can seize an emotion and show the depth of our human values.”

“Young Latin Aspirations”: A Documentary by Elias Polcheira

A Multimedia Documentary by CDIA alumnus, Elias Polcheira

“Young Latin Aspirations”

The children of Latin immigrants might be facing the hardest challenges of their lives. The country is struggling in an economic crisis with high unemployment rates as the Latino students or recent graduates are about to enter the job market. It is not a very different situation found by any college student in America. However, these young immigrants brought to the United States on their parents’ arms have to deal with the fact that many are undocumented and are not eligible for an employment worth of their diplomas.
