DIGITAL AND TRADITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
OF CULTURAL RESOURCES SEMINAR
September 29-30, 2010
Oklahoma History Center
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is pleased to announce that the National Preservation Institute (NPI) will present its two-day seminar entitled "Digital and Traditional Photography of Cultural Resources" in Oklahoma City on September 29-30, 2010, in the Classroom, Oklahoma History Center, 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive.
William Lebovich, architectural historian and photographer, is the seminar instructor. He is author of the chapter on archival, large-format photography for "Recording Historic Structures," and his most recent exhibition of work is "Shared Sacred Spaces." He will discuss the full range of important issues related to the production of quality photo documentation for a variety of historic preservation-related projects.
Understanding subject matter, composition, technique, and equipment are critical to a successful photo documentation project. Mr. Lebovich will review the use of digital and traditional 35 mm photography techniques for mitigation documentation and for National Register of Historic Places nomination packages, with an emphasis on survey work; presentations; publications; and the web. Also, he will compare camera formats and traditional vs. digital output options, discuss requirements for reviewing agencies and archival processes, and explore issues involved in contracting and supervising photographic projects. A detailed seminar agenda is available.
The NPI is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization offering specialized information, continuing education, and professional training to those involved in the management, preservation, and stewardship of our cultural heritage. The SHPO will serve as the cooperating organization with NPI to present this special seminar in Oklahoma.
Registration. A registration form is available online. The registration rate is $500.
