Those of us who pursue a greater understanding of our medium must seek a path of constant growth in ability, technical integrity, creative adventure, and personal response to the subject. It is through the willingness to test our limits that our work and the practice of color photographic image making will gain recognition as the powerful creative medium we love. I enjoy teaching the art of photography rather than just the nuts and bolts of the craft. But I'm especially interested in helping students develop their own style, their own way of expressing their emotional response to the subject on location. In all of my workshops, color landscape and special subject photography are emphasized and explored in a close instructional field setting.
Instructional groups are limited to minimize distractions and optimal personal interaction.
Because I only do a limited number of workshops each year, creative involvement with each participant becomes a special goal. My personal teaching objective remains effective interaction with each participant to explore creative and aesthetic responses. Each participant may choose a flexible course of study both in time and instructional involvement. The free exchange of information and ideas are important throughout each workshop. Limited class size allows personal instruction, which will include a general naturalist perspective, environmental sensitivity, and interpreting personal response.
