Here’s something very interesting for photography in Austin – the newly formed Austin Center for Photography. Tonight, March 12, is the first of their ‘Icons of Photography’ lecture, featuring internationally known photographer Mary Ellen Mark at the new Blanton Center Auditorium at 7:00 pm.

Full detail on the tonight’s presentation, the new organization and how this could help put Austin on the photography map are at their website:

I just found about it and joined immediately.

Please pass the word around to everyone you know in the photo community. While HCP is great for Houston, PRC for Boston, C4FAP for Colorado, this is the opportunity to develop a local organization to promote the broad appreciation, training and sharing of photography here in Austin. Hope to see you out at the Blanton tonight.
