Dates: October 8-12, 2013

“Chance Favors the Prepared Mind” was one of Ansel Adams’ favorite expressions. And it was his own prepared mind that allowed him to so successfully realize his artistic vision. In this inspirational workshop, the emphasis will be on connecting Ansel’s approach and mastery with today’s tools and technologies, allowing you to better realize your own photographic vision.

Autumn Colors in Yosemite Valley with Ray McSavaney

Dates: October 15-19, 2013

Autumn is a special time in Yosemite, and the spectacular autumn colors are no less beautiful in shades of silver and gray than full color. “Seeing” in black & white is different than “seeing” in color, and this workshop is designed to help students of both media explore their vision and practice their composition. And what better place than Yosemite National Park!
