(How many interesting ways can we say this?)
BBC – where your problems become … less problematic.

BBC Regulars – Upcoming Events
Tuesdays, Month Of July @ OfficeXpats Workshop – “Understand The Power of Photo To Tell Your Story” With Steve Wilson
Learn how to read a photo, understand how photos work in your story, and how each one helps (or hurts) in conveying your message. Acclaimed National Geographic photojournalist Steve Wilson is leading four 90-minute workshops in July on the power of photography to tell stories. Steve says “I try to use my craft as a way of speaking truth to power,” claiming that the authenticity and persuasion of his art is often more effective than direct challenges.
Steve Wilson is a local Kitsap treasure, but better known to New York City editors than here. Steve’s portfolio spans the Seattle World’s Fair to LIFE and National Geographic, and includes Time Life films. While best known for soaring landscapes and intimate interactions with wildlife, Steve Wilson has always kept a focus on social justice issues. He currently focuses on philosophy from the fringes of society, recording and photographing street people and learning about their sometimes highly developed self-governance practices. He became inspired to document the articulate wisdom and sensitivity he witnessed, knowing that his art could make the hard political issues a little harder to ignore.
$10 for each 90-minute workshop, 12-1:30 pm, final two on Tuesdays 7/17, 7/31. Limit of 24 per workshop. Call 206 780-2177 or go to OfficeXpats.com to sign up now.
