On Saturday, Feb. 20, 1993 from noon to 5pm.  Morgan Cowin
and Sherri Parks will be teaching an Erotic Photography
II Class at our San Francisco studio.  The "II" refers
to the ways that this class will extend beyond the
Learning Annex class call "Erotic Photography: How To
Shoot Nudes With Live Models".  

Morgan Cowin has been a professional photographer and teacher
since 1974.  As a Marin expert on boudoir photography,
Morgan has been interviewed on KPIX-TV, KQED-TV, KITS-radio,
KDBK-radio, and the Playboy Channel.  His education,
affiliations, experience, and quality well qualify him as
a photographer instructor.

The class will be limited to between 10 to 20 photographers.
In order to achieve this level of participation, this class
is open to non-members.  This includes interested 
individuals who have not previously attended our activities
or photographic classes.  Those who attend this class are
not required to join WPFG.

Reservation deadline by check to the WPFG Post Office Box is

non-members (such a deal).  Directions to the class will
be mailed back to you as conformation.  This location has
cats for those of you who might be sensitive to their fur.

faster 36 exposure print film.  Also, plan bring examples
of your own pictures of any subject for individual
