Green Street Photo Collective is celebrating one year of community, connection, and creativity with an afternoon of activities at the studio!
Our event is free and open to the public with a suggested donation.
Please note that parking is limited in the area. There is street parking nearby, but if possible, we highly recommend taking the MBTA — we’re just steps from the Green Street stop on the Orange Line.
Additionaly, an RSVP is required for our nature walk and cyanotype workshop.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
2-9PM Print Swap
Bring a print of your choice, and leave with a print from a fellow Green Street Photo Collective community member!

2:15PM Nature walk (RSVP required)
Photographer Billy Hickey will lead a nature walk through nearby Franklin Park. Participants will collect leaves, plants, and textures to create cyanotypes back at the studio.
If you plan on taking part in the cyanotype workshop, please RSVP for that activity as well! Can’t stay for the cyanotype workshop? We’d still love to be in nature together, and have you along for the walk.
The group will depart from the studio at 2:15PM, and return by 3:30PM.
3:30PM Cyanotype workshop (RSVP required)
Green Street Photo Collective member Erin Clark will lead participants in creating mini-cyanotypes using materials collected on the nature walk.
Can’t make the nature walk? Don’t fret. There’s still space for you. We just ask that you RSVP at the link below.
6:30PM reading of Viewfinder by Stephanie Blair Mitchell
Viewfinder is the debut poetry collection by photographer Stephanie Blair Mitchell.
Viewfinder traces the early history of photography, showcases her favorite photographers, depicts her personal relationship to the craft, describes the physicality of picture making, and honors her late father who introduced her to the art form. The collection features ekphrastic poems inspired by the photographs of Sally Mann, Emmet Gowin, Dorothea Lange, Margaret Bourke-White, and others who have shaped ways of seeing and remembering.
Published November 14, 2025. Available for purchase through Finishing Line Press, the publisher, and elsewhere.
Stephanie will be selling and signing books after the reading.

8:00PM FauxMenco
Join us as we end the evening with FauxMenco, an attitude that blends flamenco fandom with energy, resulting in fiery instrumental compositions that owe as much to metal as they do Paco de Lucia. After a raucous performance at the 2025 Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival, one fan called them “flamenco meets Tool.”
Selected by Brian May to win his famed Red Special guitar, Catherine Capozzi is a genre-bending, award-winning film composer and producer. Rafi Sofer is an engineer/producer (Q Division Studios), and educator (Berklee College of music) who also explores visual and digital media.
While the music the duo writes gives the listener space to explore anything- the titles explore the natural world, and the perils of climate change and greed. Their debut EP, Speed x Volume = FauxMenco is out now on Bandcamp.
