Classes and Workshops I'm thrilled announce that I will be teaching classes for The Photographer's Gallery Digital College. While some of the details are still being worked out it looks like I'll be teaching four classes with the first of which starting in May or June of 2008. The four classes I will be teaching will be:
Date: July 30th 6-9pm
Dates: September 10th and 17th 6-9pm
Each week student’s will be introduced to the importance of light in a different subject, portrait, landscape, photo journalism, fine art and travel etc. via a slideshow on the subject and an instructor led discussion on light and techniques to deal with different lighting conditions students my encounter while creating images on that weeks subject. Students will be expected to create at least 3 images from that week’s subject (landscape, portrait, photo journalism etc) which demonstrates creative and/or good use of light.
Dates: October 29, November 5th and 12th 6-8:30
Date: Beginning November 19th and lasting 4 weeks
While it hasn't been set in stone which, if any, classes will be offered online to start it is something I am pushing. In fact I am designing the courses Seeing the Light and Portfolio Development with online classes in mind.

Scanning: Bring your old film into the Digital Era: Learn everything you need to know to start breathing new life into your old film. Whether its art images or just family snap shots, digitalizing your images will keep them alive forever. We discuss how to pick the right scanner for you, set-up, and the ins and outs of scanning using SliverFast SE. We'll also cover what you can do after the scan, everything from meta-tagging to backup and display. If you have old film filled with images and memories you cherish this class is for you.
The Expressive Landscape Print, Photoshop for Landscape Photographers: Learn how to fine tune your nature and landscape images to create the most expressive print possible that speaks to viewer. We will discuss advanced Photoshop techniques that will take your prints from good to WOW! 
Seeing the Light, A Photographer's Journey: As a photographer I spend most of my time in the field chasing light, whether it’s directional, soft, harsh or colorful, each image is a journey to find the best Mother Nature has to offer. This course will cover extensively the important of light to photography. Through the use of example images from both well known photographers and myself, students will learn that photography in its most basis form is the recording of light on film or an image sensor.
Portfolio Development: Learn how to see your images in a more objective manner, so many times as photographers we get caught up in the story of how the image was created, which will sometime cloud our judgment and escalate the value of a certain image or group of images in our own mind's eye. Weather you shoot for personal growth or in the hopes of becoming a pro, learning how to create a well thought out portfolio that showcases your talent and message in a logical, thought provoking and beautiful way to make an impacting presentation is essential. The class will also touch about ways to present your portfolio(s) in both more traditional print forms and modern digital formats.
