Enthusiasm about photography will be in the air all over Cologne in the photokina month of September. The platform “photokina: köln fotografiert!” (photokina: Cologne takes photographs!) was established to carry the topic of photography far beyond the fairgrounds and into the city and region. The event will be under the patronage of Cologne’s mayor Jürgen Roters.
In 2010, the year of photokina’s sixtieth anniversary, photography fans and passionate amateur photographers are being invited for the second time to get active with their cameras and explore the possibilities of photography.
Among lots of other events, 111 workshops are planned – a number with a special significance in Cologne – with professionals who will point the way to better photography in the most attractive and appealing locations in Cologne!
“
photokina: köln fotografiert!” 2010 is a partner of the Cologne ShoppingNight by CityMarketing on Saturday, 25 September 2010.
