Introducing Our Monthly Newsletter: Photography with Purpose


6th On 7th Photography Workshop Newsletter
Healing Through the Lens -August 2025

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the very first issue of our monthly newsletter!

Each month, we’ll be sharing what’s happening inside our unique photography program,

where adults living below the poverty line and military veterans receive one-on-one, therapeutic attention through the art of photography.

We believe in the power of the image. But more than that, we believe in people. For over three decades,

the 6th On 7th Photography Workshop has been a place where creativity, community, and care come together.

We’re so glad you’re here with us.

Featured This Month: Visit Our Gallery

Our doors are open! Come experience the work of our participants—photographers who bring powerful, lived stories into focus through their lens.

Gallery Location: 105 7th Street at Mission
Hours: Gallery, Wed, Thurs, Sat Noon - 4 PM

Workshop Hours: Tues-Sat. Noon – 4 PM
Now Showing: “Opening, Closing”
Free & Open to the Public

PLEASE CALL AHEAD. WE MIGHT BE ON A FIELD TRIP.

By visiting, you’re doing more than seeing images—you’re acknowledging lives, stories, and growth.

Why Photography, Why Now?

Our participants often face challenges that isolate them—poverty, trauma, housing insecurity, or the aftershocks of military service.

With guidance and support, photography becomes a means of healing, expression, and connection.

Each shutter click is a step toward confidence. Each image is a voice made visible.
