"Day in the Life of Asian Pacific America" is sponsored by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and will take place on May 10, 2014.  On that day, thousands of amateur, professional, and casual photographers alike are invited to take pictures and create videos that reflect their vision of Asian Pacific America. 

In support of that event, local photographers Curt Fukuda and Jim Nagareda, along with filmmaker Duane Kubo, will host a preshoot workshop on Sunday, May 4, at 2 p.m. at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj).  Fukuda and Nagareda will share their favorite documentary photos from their upcoming book on the history of San Jose Japantown, as well contemporary photos taken in the Asian American communities.  Details regarding the Flickr upload and parameters for participating in "Day in the Life of Asian Pacific America" will also be discussed.  It is not mandatory to take the workshop in order to participate in the event.  However, all are welcome on May 4 to get details, meet others, and possibly collaborate.

RSVP Required. Please contact PublicPrograms@jamsj.org or call (408) 294-3138 to reserve a spot.
