The new millennium has put a quality camera in nearly everyone’s pocket in the form of a smartphone. Veteran documentarian Bryce Lankard will discuss how the adoption of the iPhone camera is responsible for a resurgence in his street photography and filmmaking during a special presentation from 10 a.m. to noon March 12 at the Center for Creative Arts, located at 8 Church Street next door to The Society of Bluffton Artists’ (SoBA) gallery in Old Town Bluffton.
The event is free and open to the public. A $5 donation to SoBA is requested. Seating is limited, so please register online at https://sobagallery.com/artists-talk/.
