Workshops...?

[Joe O'Hara]

I attended a workshop with Jack Dykinga last year in Yosemite. It was a 3 or 4 day format and a good opportunity to watch a top photographer at work. He is quite down to earth, unassuming, and easy to talk to. Good portfolio critiques. I am often reminded of things he said when I'm out working.

Hell do a workshop with me, one-on-one, $2500 a weekend. You might not remember everything but you'll come home with some awesome pictures.

It's your dime Eddie ;-) Could be some hick town off the Thruway or the Caymans, it's all good.

Beats mucking with toxic chemicals to make pictures of rocks and trees!

What about combo with field and darkroom. I think Fred Picker used to run his that way.

I can use some printing skill improvement.

Heck, Frank, I've got a better idea: I'll teach you everything thing I know about web development, you teach me everything you know about photography. Together we'll work on memory skills, and we'll both walk away bloated & satisfied

Most of the "darkroom" workshops I attended actually worked that way. Mostly darkroom with a little field photography thrown in or photograph in the early morning and late p.m., darkroom/lecture the rest of the time. You just have to investigate the course content thoroughly, including asking the instructor questions beforehand about exactly what's covered to be sure the workshop is for you. But I can't offhand think of a darkroom workshop that didn't include at least some field work. Photoshop workshops, OTOH, have tended to be exclusively that.

I have attended my share of field- and darkroom workshops, the most recent one about 10 years ago. One of the things I enjoyed was the interaction, chatting, echange of ideas with oter participants. I wonder if that option still exists, or if participants are now restricted to dialogue with their laptop, to download, edit, etc etc related to the day's shooting? This would be my concern if the workshop advertises : all formats accepted, analog and/or digital.

I'm going to look for an LF analog only.

I attended Kim Weston's workshop this... was it September? I think so. Anyway, it was really a nice workshop. Kim is a true artist and Gina makes it a lovely stay. Well worth the travel.

I also attended one out in NM with Alan Ross. Great workshop. Really learned some new tricks.

I always get a kick out of what I think I will learn and what I end up walking away with.

Good education has a cost of time and money and is rarely a wasted investment.

I teach darkroom locally (Salt Lake City) as well as in Park City, Utah and I love learning from the students as they always help me see things in a new way. I think the workshops always give me a fresh view on the work. I have been getting a lot of younger students who are interested in LF. I think it's great but keep wondering where they come up with the money. I can think of many workshops I would have like to have done way back but rarely had money for film much less a workshop.
