PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS & SEMINARS My photography workshops were started in 2006. Originally requested by some of my ambitious college students, these workshops are designed to cover a broad range of topics. In the first workshop, we approached the construction of home darkrooms, shooting with medium and large format cameras, infrared processes, and advanced black and white printing techniques. (Go to the links page to see more information about workshop topics.) My ultimate goal for students enrolled in any of my workshops is the development of their professional portfolio. Read testimonials about my teaching, and contact me for enrollment information. Summer/Fall 2007 workshop details coming soon.
