Virginia in late March is a time when the land comes alive, trees and flowers are blooming, and color spreads across the once wintry landscape. Join me in Virginia to re-energize your photography with exciting ideas designed to open your eyes and change your perspective, practical skills to fine-tune your vision, in-the-field sessions, and for those people prepared for the digital workflow, a chance to review your efforts. This is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the key ideas and sessions from my week long Natural Eye workshop. At the end of the workshop you will find yourself focused less on objects and things and more on the magic of moments and the essence of places.
Calumet Photographic’s Tyson's Corner location becomes our classroom, and the nearby Meadowlark Botanical Garden gives us great access to the spring landscape. The weekend starts Friday evening with a public presentation sponsored by Calumet Photographic and Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. From 7:00-8:15pm I will be presenting "Memories, Moons, and Imagination", an inspirational session designed to set the tone for our weekend. The weekend sessions will also be at Calumet, and will run from 9am to 4pm both Saturday and Sunday.
Join this celebration of spring while bringing your photography into new directions.
WORKSHOP FEE: $575.00. Lodging, transportation, and meals are not included.
PREREQUISITE: This workshop is open to all photographers with a working knowledge of their cameras. On Sunday there will be two chances to review images made during the workshop. The first will be a look at images made Saturday, and the second will be a look at the results of a creative exercise on Sunday. If you wish to participate in these reviews you will need to bring a laptop, editing software, card reader, jump drive, and above all, a working knowledge of the digital workflow. This would include the ability to download your images to your laptop on Saturday night, make selections, re-name and re-size the selections, move them to a folder, and put them on a jump drive to move to the class laptop for projection. Sunday's creative session will require you to bring your laptop to the classroom. There will be no digital workflow instruction during the workshop. For those participants choosing to pass on the image review, a lot will be gained from listening to the feedback given to others.
