The Sense Of Time – A Conversation With Sheila Metzner – Dec 10 @ 8 pm EST
The Sense Of Time
Wednesday, Dec 10 @ 8pm EST
Creativity Continues at Santa Fe Workshops with The Sense Of Time, a conversation between Shiela Metzner and John Paul Caponigro.
An icon in both fashion and fine art photography, whether she makes portraits, still lifes, or landscapes Sheila’s offers captivating sensual experiences, marked for their muted colors, soft focus, and rich textural grain. Both timeless and contemporary, echoing other art forms, her photographs have become a part of and are haunted by the history of photography.
Our hour of inspiration will begin with a short presentation of images by Shiela.
Next, Sheila and John Paul will discuss how time unfolds in still images, intermingling with our other senses, and may even be a sixth sense.
Finally, we’ll finish with a lively question-and-answer session open to all participants.
Join Santa Fe Workshops’ worldwide community of photographers and writers as Creativity Continues.

She has published four monographs: Objects of Desire (1986), Sheila Metzner’s Color (1991), Inherit the Earth (2000), and Form and Fashion (2001). She was awarded the International Center of Photography Infinity Award and the 1987 Best Print Advertising Campaign Award from the Fragrance Foundation.
