Ruby Photo Club

​This event is meant to bring Rubies together with an interest in visual storytelling and film or digital photography as way to interact and learn from each other, while we actively engage in our community and neighborhood around the Ruby. This event would be held on a monthly basis in the form of a photo walk, with a pre-selected theme (as a creative prompt) to guide the walk in the local community together as a group. Participants can bring their own digital or film camera, or use a disposable film camera as an affordable way to practice (typically about $15)! The photos taken during the photo walk would then be collected from participants (when ready and/or developed) and shared / circulated with event participants by the Photo Club leader(s) (including myself here!). The photo walk submissions could also be featured in a monthly photobook or photo 'installation' somewhere in the Ruby building. This would feature the images that were taken during the photo walk, highlight the photographer, and tell the story and showcase the theme of focus from that photo walk. This monthly event can also include discussions or panels features local, diverse female or femme identifying photographers with different levels of experience and styles.

​​​A non-member femme or non-binary friend may join if they are hosted by a Ruby member. For non-members, we hope you feel the warmth of our space and community and also recognize the trust through which we are sharing space. Please help us keep the space clean, safe, and comfortable so that it can remain a sanctuary for artists and writers.

​​​Please message the hosts of this event if you have accessibility needs.

​About the Facilitator

​My name is Negra Tutundzic and I have been part of the Ruby for about 5 months now! I started learning film photography about a year ago after I got my hands on my mom's old Zenit (Soviet era!) camera that I found hidden away in my parent's basement. My full time career is in employee engagement so I also have a passion for connecting people together in meaningful ways!
