My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company. – Jane Austen
Conversation is the essence of learning. Collective wisdom of the group is magnitudes larger than the wisdom of individuals in the group. Conversation also networks people and builds relationships. Photographers are no exception to this general behaviour.
To build stronger bonding,
To clarify doubts that have remained in the corner of the mind for too long,
To provide guidance on matters relevant to photography,
To learn and to share,
YPS is pleased to announce “YPS Open House“, a free format discussion on any matter related to photography. YPS Open House is where experts and novices meet as equals to hold meaningful collective conversations that enhances the learning of everyone.
Starting May 27th, YPS Open House will be held every 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month.
Join us in conversation ! Share your thoughts ! Go back wiser !
