Charles Francis

As a wide-ranging professional photographer, Charles was involved with many interesting people and in many extraordinary events. His desire to share these has propelled an interest in writing. After retirement to the Bay Area in 1987, he has continuously honed his writing skills with classes at U.C. Berkeley and OLLI-SF State.

Blogs

Here is a sample of member blogs that were created in Stephen Vincent's course on "Writing & Blogging" from the fall 2005 session.

Digital Photography

Members have a keen interest in developing their photographic skills. In the fall 2005, OLLI members learned how to develop slide shows and archives for their work in a course with famed photographer, Marcia Lieberman.
