For all ladies participating in Girls on Film's upcoming zine and exhibition, don’t miss your shot.

If you couldn’t make it to the first polaroid portrait session for their zine or are in desperate need of reshoots, the club is hosting one last session on Saturday, 8/29 from 12 to 2 p.m. at Safelight’s studio. 

Come hang, get your portrait taken and enjoy drinks by Equina, a woman-led wine shop.

RSVP by 8/25.

Pop shove your way over to the Studio at Safelight Labs on Friday, August 21, from 5–9 p.m. for Blair Alley’s gallery show.

Known for his work as a renowned skateboard photographer and content director at TransWorld SKATEboarding, Blair will be showcasing two decades of iconic images from the pro skateboarding circuit.

It's BYOB (Bring Your Own Board), so come ready to take in the photography—and session the temporary Keen Ramp installed just for the night. Whether you're there to skate, hang out, or relive 20 years of skate history, it's a show you won't want to miss.

In partnership with Beers and Cameras, start the evening by bringing your printed original photography to the studio at Safelight Labs for a community print hang from 5 to 7 p.m.. Afterward, we'll walk together to Una Más for a blind print swap from 7 to 9 p.m.

Come share your work, discover new perspectives, and connect with fellow photographers and neighbors. We look forward to seeing you there!

Normal Heights Elote hustler, Gilberto, will be slinging corn on the cob from his cart, so come hungry.

Additionally, as an added incentive to BYOB, Bine and Vine on Adams Ave. is offering any patron 10% off anything in the store if you mention the show.

Join us for a two-hour long (12 p.m. - 2 p.m.) workshop that will walk you through the process of creating beautiful cyanotypes.

Participants will be given an overview of cyanotypes, how they work, and what you need to make them at home. As a bonus, we will be giving a tea-toning demonstration.

All materials will be provided, but bring something personal/fun to print, like b/w film negatives or pressed flowers.

No photography or printing experience is required. 

In birding, a “lifer” is slang for the very first time a birder sees and positively identifies a specific species of bird in the wild. The gallery show “Lifer” will be Merlin Mendoza’s effort to immerse others into San Diego’s diverse avian biomes through his photography. It will feature 81 unique species of birds and other fauna. Mostly on film, these images were ethically taken amongst the vast landscapes that San Diego County has to offer — from the arid desert, cold mountains and our popular parks where these animals mostly go unnoticed.

“Plot” is a zine born from Merlin’s exploration of the famous Tijuana estuary in search of the elusive black-throated magpie jay. After following the birds, he stumbled upon the Tijuana River Valley Regional Park community garden. Enamored with the gardens, he decided to capture its charm as a way to share the beauty of the space and shed light on their recent struggles. Copies will be available at the gallery.

April 25th Event Itinerary:

• 7-9 AM, Birding Tour at Tijuana River Bird and Butterfly Garden.

• 6-9 PM, Gallery Show at the Studio in Safelight Labs.

Come take some photos at Balboa Park with your fellow queer photographers on April 11th at 3pm! We'll be meeting outside The San Diego Museum of Art and going for a 90 minute stroll around Balboa Park to take some photos of the architecture and gardens and make friends! Everyone is totally encouraged to bust out their film gear but bring whatever you have even if it's a phone! If folks feel good about the photos they took, we'll schedule a cafe meeting for everyone to share their favorite photos once folks have had time to develop their photos!

This event is primarily a space for sapphic-aligned photographers to meet each other — but all are welcome as long as they're respectful!
