Have you seen small metal cans hanging around on campus? You may have spotted one of the 18 solargraphy cameras that were installed last month. As part of this summer's Visiting Artist Series, Howard Community College will feature the work of photographer Chris Peregoy, a specialist in the technique of solargraphy. Created using handmade pinhole cameras, solargraphs are long exposure photographs that capture the path of the sun and the surrounding landscape over the period of weeks to months, sometimes over years. In preparation for this summer's course and workshop, Peregoy, has installed cameras on trees, buildings, and light poles across campus. If you see one, share a pic with us here! But please do not touch or remove the cameras, since they are all in process of making long exposures.

This summer’s Visiting Artist Series activities include a credit course, a gallery exhibition, a free public Lecture, a community workshop, and a reception. For more information and to see examples of solargraphy, visit www.howardcc.edu/visitingartists.
