WPCC Guest Speaker Presentation
2023-04-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Green Line Performing Arts Center, 329 E. Garfield Blvd, Chicago, IL, United States
Photographer Mr. Isadore Howard will give a presentation of his photographic images.

He has been engaged in some form of visual art since his early childhood. His formal training started in high school where he majored in commercial arts. In college he discovered the photographic arts which better suited his temperament. He was uncomfortable at an easel for extended periods of time. Photography required him to stay constantly on the move, which helped him feel more at ease.

His employment as an industrial/corporate photographer required assignments to travel across the country photographing a wide range of photographic types.

Mr. Howard has served as competition judge for WPCC’s monthly competitions. The members look forward to his return and viewing his extensive portfolio.
