  Compositional Photography with Mick West, Tuesdays, August 3, 10, 17 & 24th at 6:30 PM in the Jane von Thron Room. Cost is $5.00 per session. A four session class that will provide basic compositional elements and framing to assist the student in capturing interesting, dynamic images with a digital camera. What is the difference between a photograph and a snapshot?   Basically, a snapshot is just point, shoot, and hope for the best.  That’s why most snapshots are similar in appearance.  A photograph requires thought, purpose, and an understanding of the interrelationships of positive and negative shapes, lines, perspective, color and contrast, to create a unique composition in the camera’s viewfinder. Prerequisites: A desire to take more interesting photographs, a digital camera and the ability to transfer digital images from a computer to a CD or thumb drive.

Home: The Movie, Sunday, August 22nd at 2:00 PM at Cocoa Beach Public Library, 550 N. Brevard Ave., Cocoa Beach, Fl. This 90 minute 2009 Emmy Award Winner for Best Writing by Alan Cooke, was also nominated for Best Documentary & Best Photography.  NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg states, “With more that one of every three of our residents hailing from forein lands, it’s only fitting that a movie about the idea of “home” would be set in the Big Apple”. Young Dubliner Alan Cooke reflects on recently immigrating to New York City. Exploring such universal themes as nostalgia, the journey and the concept of home, the film includes interviews with immigrants, native New Yorkers, and a host of prominent New Yorkers. David Amram, Armand DiMele, Pete Hamill, Elaine Kaufman, Fran Lebowitz, Frank and Malachy McCourt, Alfred Molina, Mike Myers, Liam Neeson, Drew Nieporent, Rosie Perez, Colin Quinn, and Susan Sarandon all share their great love for the city they call home. Home is a timely film that reaches the heart of the city and its people today. Sponsored by Healthy Planet of Brevard. A snack will be provided along with the movie. 868-1104.

  Nostradamus: 2012: Hindsight is 20/20. Foresight is 2012, a 94 minute History Channel DVD, Wednesday, August 25th at 1:00 PM. It’s a year that many have prophesied will bring a catastrophic end to life as we know it. Whatever is in store, many believe that 2012 will mark a major shift in the history of our planet.  But what is there to substantiate such fears? A detailed, historical investigation of this chilling prophecy is the mission of this film that casts the doomsday warning in a frighteningly modern concept. Bring a sack lunch. Kool-Aid and cookies will be served.
