Come and meet David duChemin, a renowned Canadian photographer, author, educator, amputee, and adventurer, as he unveils his latest book, Light, Space & Time - Essays on Camera Craft and Creativity, at the breathtaking Central Library. In this engaging session, David will delve into the nuances of camera technique and the creative challenges inherent in photography. Why is capturing the perfect image so elusive? Could it be that we've focused too much on the technical aspects of our cameras and not enough on nurturing our creative vision? David believes that by stepping back and learning to perceive the world as a camera does and thinking in the camera's language, we can create photographs that truly reflect our unique perspectives and emotions.

About Light, Space & Time - Essays on Camera Craft and Creativity:
In 20 powerful essays, and featuring more than 100 beautiful photographs, David explores the place of the human behind the camera in the act of picture making, and he does so with the same inspiring heart, soul, and voice that he has brought to his previous best-selling books. Books that teach not only how to make photographs, but how to think like a photographer. This exploration provides new frameworks for thinking about your decisions, presents new ways to see and look, raises new questions about the challenges we face in being creative, and offers new answers as you carve out your own unique path forward. Most importantly, David will inspire you to head out with your camera and play with the possibilities held by every intersection of light, space, and time that eventually becomes a photograph.
The result of all this? Freedom. Freedom to embrace your fundamental creative nature, to overcome the fear of trying something new. Freedom to work as an artist more at ease with a process that's inherently messy. And freedom to make the kinds of photographs you’ve always wanted to create.
Event Sponsored by Sony Canada. In collaboration with the Calgary Public Library.
