The Meet-up Spot 10:00 am 6-28-2025
St. Mary's-By-The-Sea, Bridgeport, CT
At the flagpole at the tip of the walkway - this is a clear, recognizable point where the path reaches out into Long Island Sound. It's very easy to spot from the entrance - a good landmark. There are picnic tables nearby where I will present the introductory part of the session and help people who may have questions about their cameras.
The entrance is via Gilman Street off of Fairfield Avenue in the historic Black Rock neighborhood off Bridgeport.
There is nearby street parking and a small lot, but it's best to park beyond the park if needed.
It's a 2-3 minute walk to the flagpole from the area.
Park on Gilman Street, enter the park, walk along the seawall path toward the water. We'll meet at the flagpole on the tip of the walkway, by the picnic tables overlooking the Sound. You can't miss it - it's right at the end of the path.

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.
We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.
