How to Read an American Photograph – Creative Writing Workshop

June 13 @ 9:00 am - June 14 @ 3:30 pm EDT
$250

Photographs capture stories. This workshop teaches you how to find them and how to tell them. Led by award-winning author and journalist Paul Hendrickson, this immersive weekend workshop invites you to “walk back in” to moments captured in photography and discover the strange, evocative storytelling universes sealed inside the four rectangular walls of an image.

Through writing, discussion, and exploration, you’ll learn to look more deeply––to notice more intensely––and uncover the emotional and narrative truths hidden in plain sight.

Whether it’s a news photo from yesterday’s paper or a curling black-and-white snapshot from your family album, every photograph holds a story, and this is your invitation to discover it. All are welcome to participate!
