»New for Fall 2012: The Focus Series

© Michael Long, © Marc Muench

One of the truly valuable benefits of attending a workshop in Santa Fe is meeting and interacting with participants and instructors in other classes. Taking this benefit to the next logical step, we created The Focus Series—part workshop, part festival, part seminar.

Each of the eight Focus Series workshops has a photographic theme—LANDSCAPE in the first week and COLOR in the second. You select one workshop to focus on, with the added benefit of all-community activities throughout the week that include instructor image presentations, roundtable discussions with questions and answers, technical presentations, and all-group meals.

»Keep Your Momentum Going with a Photography Mentorship

© George DeWolfe

Working with a mentor is a great way to continue to move your photographic pursuits forward. A mentor will champion your work—guiding and supporting your dreams and aspirations as a photographer.

You can read about three of our mentors—Bobbi Lane, George DeWolfe, and Alan M. Thornton—in the Fine Focus: A 1-to-1 Photo Learning Experience article Nikon just posted on their Learn & Explore page.
