Last spring, a new director from Calgary's Alberta College of Art and Design reviewed my portfolio and my gallery images, during a month long exhibition at a local gallery. At the end of the review, the gentleman asked whether I would be interested in conducting a lecture series and, or a set of workshops at the college to assist their photographic art program, going forward. Unfortunately, I declined the invitation, because my sporadic, yet energetic workload would periodically position me in a very remote area, or at a distance from my home town during my contract, therefore, disallowing any formal commitment.
That said, the college was persistent, and because my 2009 contracts are close to my home, we decided to continue our discussion, regarding the proposed lectures and the proposed field workshops last week, and where this time I agreed to participate with immediate effect. The college shall introduce me to the second-year students before the 2009 fall session, where I will try to produce a short productive workshop, during the second, and third week of April 2009.
So, it looks as though I have an opportunity to try to brighten a few restless brain cells, within a captured class of younger passionate souls. I believe I shall have fun being in college again. Then again, I remember what I did in college...
