‼️11/19/26: NoMAA Labs: PHOTOGRAPHY beginner’s guide‼️

From Auto to Manual: A Guide to Mirrorless Photography with TONY LOPEZ

This class is designed for beginners who own a mirrorless camera—or smartphone photographers who are ready to take the next step and discover the creative possibilities of a dedicated camera.

This classroom-based introduction takes the mystery out of modern mirrorless cameras and teaches you what happens beyond Auto mode. You’ll learn how cameras and lenses work and explore the fundamentals that give photographers creative control, including the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO), metering, exposure compensation, shooting modes, autofocus, white balance, histograms, and RAW vs. JPEG. We’ll also cover essential lens concepts, including focal length, prime vs. zoom lenses, maximum aperture, and full-frame vs. crop-sensor lenses.

‼️10/26/26: The Crackalackin’ Concert of Classical Music @ The United Palace‼️

The Crackalackin’ Concert is FREE.

One of the United Palace of Cultural Arts’ (UPCA) programming goals is to find innovative ways to make classical music accessible to new and old audiences, particularly by combining the genre with other art forms.

“The Crackalackin’ Concert of Classical Music” serves as a dynamic platform designed to break down barriers and make the beauty of classical music accessible to everyone, including underrepresented communities, ensuring it resonates with a diverse and inclusive audience.

#(NOTE: “Crackalackin’” is old-time (as far back as the 1990s!) urban slang for what’s new, relevant, and happening. We think it is a great description of how people should feel about classical music.)

This year’s theme is Bringing It Back Home, Uptown and features performances and mash-ups by:

Crackalackin’ Symphony Orchestra (Musicians of all ages are welcome to sign up here)
DJ Boo
Leadlights Ensemble
Washington Heights Community Choir (WHCC)
Washington Heights Community Conservatory of Fine Arts (WHCCFA) and Association of Dominican Classical Artists (ADCA)
