One Hour Photo

People collect all sorts of things -- stamps, coins, baseball cards, asphalt. Yeah, there’s an actual asphalt museum in Sacramento, California, dedicated to the stuff.

People collect all sorts of things -- stamps, coins, baseball cards, asphalt. Yeah, there’s an actual asphalt museum in Sacramento, California, dedicated to the stuff. Although you may have thousands of photos either on your phone or garnering likes on your Instagram account, we’re not sure you can call that a collection. But with the help of the Phoenix Art Museum’s Norton Family Photography Curator Rebecca Senf, you can take those photos that are accumulating virtual dust, add some new ones, and create your own physical photo collection.

During “The Art of Collecting Photography,” Senf will explain where to find the best photos, how to use the ones you already have to create a better collection, and how to care for those photos over time. Get inspired at 7 p.m. Wednesday, October 15, at the Phoenix Art Museum, 1625 North Central Avenue. Call 602-257-1880 or visit www.phxart.org for more information.
