Norma I. Quintana is an American photographer and educator working in the tradition of social documentary. Using a medium format camera, she photographs with film, primarily in black and white using available light.

She is a founding member of the San Francisco Bay Area non-profit PhotoAlliance. Quintana is presently working on her portrait series, Forget Me Not / Recuerdos based on family photographs from Puerto Rico.

Norma I. Quintana, Photographer

Hello again! Another two weeks passes……I hope that you are all doing well and are still coping during this very peculiar time. I think it’s a real struggle for people to get a grasp of what they should be doing when they can’t get out and do the thing they do. Me included, but I’ve decided to not concern myself with what I should be doing, and just do. Outerfocus is getting the attention it deserves with new conversations and a BloG! with features and photo influences, and we are enjoying asking photographers, “What’s in yer bag?” over on the OF Youtube channel. Whe’re also just starting to get some ideas together for an Outerfocus Live! Freedom Party -  with a live recording, an exhibition of your photography and the usual pizza and beer. More details on this coming soon. This week we have doozy. I recently recorded a conversation with the very wonderful, Norma I. Quintana. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. © Norma I.
