ALVA, Okla. — Nescatunga Arts and Humanities Council member David Poindexter, associate professor of visual arts at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, will lead a workshop about cell phone photography during the Alva’s First Friday Art Walk on Friday, May 3, 2024.

The workshop will be downtown on the first floor of The Runnymede, 402 4th, from 6-8 p.m. The fee is $10 per person. There will be a free display of artwork created by members of the Alva High School art classes led by Greg McClure.

Poindexter plans to review the basics of camera operation and the typical issues for different kinds of photographic subjects and situations. He also will present a few phone app options and discuss what to look for when thinking about the kinds of images one might want to photograph.

Participants can learn how to improve a few photos on their phones during the session and share the types of photo subjects they’d like to take better with their phones.

Membership in the council is open to those wishing to support the arts. Yearly membership dues are $25. Checks may be mailed to P.O. Box 152, Alva, OK 73717, or https://paypal.me/NescatungaArts. Booth registration also may be paid via PayPal.
