Corey's Photography Programs
This Digital Image Programs are available originally for libraries, but can be for any interested group (including historical groups, cultural organizations, camera clubs, camera stores, etc.)
There will be no charge for Michigan libraries or nonprofits.
Available for virtual presentations or in-person if close to Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, Michigan area. For in-person events greater than one hour from Ann Arbor, I may ask for mileage reimbursement.
This program is updated regularly to reflect the continually changing landscape for photographic storage.
If interested - please write Corey at coreyseeman@gmail.com.
Some of the questions that have come up in programs are answered at this page.
Seems that everyone is a photographer these days. We use our smartphones, our tablets, and even some people even use cameras. With the ease of taking pictures, we find ourselves with a new concern. How do we manage, save and share these pictures? This program will introduce you to photo sharing services that are available from companies such as Google, Apple, facebook and flickr (among others) and how to organize them for easy retrieval. We will look at ways organize, backup and share pictures with friends and family. We will also explore how images are found by others (using tags or searchterms), if you want to share more broadly. This could be the perfect session if you want to do something with all those pictures on your phone or clogging up your SD card!
