Recently, EBPCO’s Brenna Hansen (Workshops Coordinator) and Aya Daterra (Summer Intern) led a hands-on Cyanotype Printing activation at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts as part of the 2026 Creative Youth Celebration.

Cyanotype is a historical printing process that uses a light sensitive emulsion, sunlight, and water to produce a blue photographic print. We had a wonderful time experimenting with this dynamic process and helping folks make their own cyanotype photogram!

The Creative Youth Celebration (CYC) is a free, public exhibition and performance event spotlighting the next generation of Bay Area creatives, and is the biggest art celebration of high school students in the Bay Area!

Learn more about CYC at @creativeyouthawards or by visiting creativeyouthawards.org

Please join us in welcoming our Summer Intern, Aya Daterra, to the East Bay Photo Collective Team! Aya was born and raised in the Bay Area and is currently Fine Arts student at Bryn Mawr College. She is bringing over four years of analog photography experience, a passion for education, and her experience as Teaching Assistant in the Photo Department at Haverford College to our community.

This summer, she’s supporting our darkroom, workshops, and gallery programs, while continuing to build her career as an artist and educator. She’s already made a big impact for us since starting at the beginning of June, and we’re so grateful to have her with us until August. If you see her around, be sure to say, “hello!” and thank her for all of her hard work.

It’s Photo Walk Time!

Sunday, June 7th, 1pm
Meet at: EBPCO Darkroom
412 13th St., Oakland CA (Near 12th street BART)

It’s the EBPCO Darkroom’s THIRD ANNIVERSARY (where does the time go???), and we’re excited to celebrate with an open house gathering.

Come poke around and see what it’s all about! We will open our doors to you at 12 noon, will leave on our walk around the neighborhood at 1pm, and we will end our walk back at the darkroom, around 2pm, with beverages and snacks.

At this month’s walk, we’ll also be welcoming our friends from @bavcmedia to celebrate with us and create stronger connections between our photo & video communities! BAVC Media inspires social change by empowering media makers to develop and share diverse stories through art, education and technology. BAVC Media has been a trusted community educator, collaborator, incubator, community builder and resource for the media arts world since 1976.

EBPCO’s bimonthly photo walks are a great way to connect with other photographers while exploring and photographing an interesting Oakland location. Our photo walks are free and OPEN TO ALL! Bring your camera(s) and your creativity. All cameras welcome, including phones. Be prepared to wander and shoot for up to an hour.
