Regional InformationThe Society for Photographic Education's eight regional organizations serve the special needs of their local constituencies. These groups organize annual regional conferences each fall, creating a sense of community within every geographic area of the United States. Like the national conference, these programs range over a wide variety of topics and bring together SPE members in an arena of scholarly inquiry and fellowship. Many regional associations are active advocates and produce their own publications and newsletters.

Theme: Photography Now!
Photography Now! will explore the contemporary legacy of the postmodern movement, and the how the current state of digital photography has renewed the drive to become technically proficient as well as sparked a new investigation of historical processes.
Current technology has revolutionized the field to the extent that traditional practice has become alternative. We are seeking photographic series that represent the newest emerging mediums and work that explores alternative traditional processes. Over the past 40 years photography has moved from perfecting a craft to a refocused interest in broad social criticism. We are interested in how the ideas of the conceptual and documentary present themselves in photography at present. Speakers include:
Joe Labate UA photo chair, Sama Alshaibi Asst. photo professor UA, Ken Rosenthal, photo instructor at Pima College, Julie Anand, Kate Albers and Lisa Robinson.
The conference will last through Saturday and includes many presentations/lectures, portfolio review opportunities, several gallery tours, a photo shoot, workshops in Lightroom, Photoshop CS4, field trips and more. Call for Submissions info. for this conference can be found on this website's Call for Submissions page.
