The document describes a photo art workshop held at the Takoma Park Maryland Library. Twenty photographers and photo editors participated in creating original artworks using found photographs from various sources like family photos and public domain internet images. They edited the photos using the free and open-source GIMP photo editing program on multiple computers running Linux operating systems. The workshop was designed and taught by CMA Medeiros with support from the Friends of the Library organization.
