Craig J. Barber: Experimental Pinhole Photography
Sat-Sun May 31-
June 1
In
this two-day hands-on workshop you will learn to make your own pinhole
cameras and depart from the world of hi-tech equipment to one of
simplicity and liberation. Due to its infinite depth of field, the pinhole
camera has unique abilities to redefine the world, whether working in
extreme close up or playing with depth perception. In addition, its slight
soft focus creates a dreamlike quality that is capable of rendering
expressive images with an ethereal effect. It is also the perfect match
for those interested in alternative processes, as you begin with an
enlarged negative from the start!
CRAIG J. BARBER
is a photographer who travels and works exclusively with the pinhole
format and focuses of the cultural landscape. During the past 10 years he
has focused his camera on Viet Nam, Havana, Cuba and the Catskill region
of New York State. In each, documenting a culture in rapid transition and
fading from memory. His work has been exhibited throughout the United
States, Europe and Latin America and is represented in several prominent
museum and private collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston;
the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Brooklyn Art Museum; the
George Eastman House, Rochester, NY; and Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes,
Buenos Aires, among others. He has received several grants including the
Seattle Arts Comission, the Polaroid Corporation and the New York
Foundation for the Arts. In 2006 Umbrage Editions published his book, Ghosts
in the Landscape: Vietnam Revisited.

Josephine
Sacabo: Images of the Psyche: Seeing the Unseen
Sat-Sun
June 14-15
“Invisible
connection is stronger than visible. To arrive at the basic structure of
things we must go into their darkness.” –
Heraclitus
We will begin by
talking about a personal dream or imagined images and explore the
qualities in them we may want to make into photographs. We will share and
review portfolios, and Josephine will show you her latest work dealing
with these themes and expressing what was revealed to her after the fact
by the images themselves. We will then go out to photograph. Whether you
choose to make images of the landscape, models, objects you’ve brought
from home, or found items on location… Josephine will be there to help
with techniques that can yield the results you envision. After our shoots
we will share some of the work made and discuss what is communicated by it
to one another. This class is open to all photographers working in any genre with any
format.
JOSEPHINE SACABO, a native of Laredo, Texas, lives and works in New Orleans, LA. Prior to settling in New Orleans, Sacabo lived and worked extensively in France and England. She uses poetry as the genesis of her work and it is poets she lists as her most important influences – among them – Rainer Maria Rilke and Juan Rulfo. Her books include Une Femme Habitee, published by Editions Marval in Paris, Pedro Páramo, illustrated with Sacabos’ photographs, and 21st – The Fine Journal of Contemporary Photography. Sacabo’s work is represented in NYC by John Stevenson Gallery, in New Orleans by A Gallery for Fine Photography and has been exhibited in Madrid, Buenos Aires, Paris, Los Angeles, Guatemala City, London, Mexico City, New York, New Orleans, and is included in the collections at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, Wittcliff Collection, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the George Eastman House.

Joan Barker: Introduction to Photography
Sat-Sun, June 21-22
Just
getting started? Want to begin again after a long time? Ready to go beyond
snapshots? In this two-day, hands-on individualized workshop – limited
to just six participants - you
will learn the basic foundations of photography and how to make a
successful picture and print within a supportive environment.
What begins this weekend may lead
to a new career and/or almost certainly a life passion!
No previous experience necessary. To best understand the basic
foundations of how photography and light works, this class will employ the
use of 35mm SLR cameras and silver film, but much of what you learn can
later be applied to digital applications as well. For those with digital
background this class will allow you to better understand the photographic
principals relative to both.

In this workshop you will find out
how to produce a book of your own photographs. You will learn how to

and a publisher who will have the most interest in your work. We will also
explore the best markets for your book. Photographers who already have
ideas for books should bring their concepts to the class and those who may
still be unsure will discover new ideas here.
