    This is Not Photography SPEMA regional conference 10/18-20/2013 Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, Asbury Park, New Jersey As SPE, the Society for Photographic Education, celebrates its 50th year we are faced with the question, “What is photography?” In an age where everyone carries a phone in their pocket and considers themselves a photographer, Instagram and Twitter provide more up-to-date imagery than newspapers and appropriation of photographs has become commonplace, how do we define photography and photographers? When we retouch, manipulate and composite photographs into imagery that bares little to no resemblance to the original, are we allowed to still call it a photograph? Utilizing the powerful and ground-breaking work of Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor as a starting point, this conference seeks to “push the boundaries of photography’s possibilities.” schedule for FRIDAY 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Princeton University Art Museum Exhibitions Princeton (three exciting exhibitions at Princeton University about an hour from Asbury Park) 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM Liquitex Workshop with Amy Faris Kingsley Ballroom - South 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM Getting Down to Business with Your Fine Art and Commercial Photography Workshop with Nancy Ori Kingsley Ballroom - North 5:00 PM - 5:45 PM LGBTQ Caucus Meet and Greet - Dauphin Grille & Berkeley Bar in the Berkeley Hotel 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Jerry Uelsmann & Maggie Taylor Kingsley Ballroom - Main Room schedule for SATURDAY 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Jay Gould Kingsley Ballroom - North Joseph Gamble Kingsley Ballroom - South 10:30
