Chef Robert's fruit salsa is a refreshing alternative to hot
sauces during the summer. It goes well on all fish, as well
as chicken and turkey medallions marinated in achiote chile paste.
Fruit Salsa
2 mangoes, peeled & diced small (substitute peaches or necatarines)
1 small red onion, diced
3 jalapenos, diced (fewer for less "fire")
1/4 cup (packed) cilantro, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
zest of 3 lemons (yellow part only)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1/8 cup vegetable or olive oil (for shine)
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Let sit for at least one hour
in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving on
desired meat or with pita or tortilla chips. |

Photography
Workshops in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

The
Travel Magazine Assignment
with Macduff Everton
October 14-20
Macduff Everton believes that good travel photography
incorporates landscapes, cityscapes, architectural
and natural details, food shots, as well as environmental
and intimate portraits to visually evoke a sense of
place. Participants in this workshop are encouraged
to explore any and all of these approaches, in a variety
of methods, in order to discover and develop a personal
style that becomes discernible as the week progresses.
The colonial towns of San Miguel de Allende, our base,
and its neighbor, Guanajuato, have a rich cultural
and artistic past and an exciting contemporary life.
Class discussions
address the aesthetic and business sides of photographing
an assignment, including planning and preparation,
and the current market for magazine and stock photography.
By week’s end, participants have created a portfolio
suitable to show to an editor.

Photographing
People
with Sarah Meghan Lee
October 14-20
Photographing people in an honest, expressive, and
candid manner, capturing that moment when subject,
gesture, environment, and light all come together,
is a challenge that requires an openness to the unexpected
and a facility with the creative and technical aspects
of photography. This workshop in San Miguel de Allende
is for those who have always wanted to photograph people
but were hesitant to try, as well as those who have
started developing these skills and wish to improve
them.
We learn how to approach and photograph people using
natural light, depth of field, and composition to create
images that capture subjects in a truthful and meaningful
way. Class discussions explore the use of different
perspectives, working with background, and layering
images. Daily assignments focus on practicing specific
skills while photographing people, and we have daily
editing and critique sessions.
We find our subjects in the colorful streets, markets,
and plazas of San Miguel, a fascinating cultural environment
providing a rich and varied opportunity for this adventure
in photographing people. Our week includes a field
trip to the nearby colonial capital of Guanajuato.
Sarah works individually with participants on location.
Other workshops available in
October are:
Heart
Mind, and Eye with Norman Mauskopf

the Surface: The Contemporary Color Portrait with

he conceptualize the portrait and prepare for the
session? How does he work with his subject on set,
often convincing them to be a player in his vision?

of the chemical darkroom, his creative impulses and
personal style. This seminar is guaranteed to inspire.

Black-and-White Digital Techniques
with Eliot Cohen
September 24-28
Black-and-white photographers traditionally have used film, filters, and processing
techniques to separate tone from color; combined with darkroom craft, they could
thus achieve an expressive range of possibilities. Today, using digital methods,
photographers can create tonal separation in even more nuanced ways.
This digital
lab workshop focuses on methods for making the conversion from color to grayscale
and on crafting images using digital darkroom procedures designed for grayscale
work. Although the workshop has a strong technical focus, expression and representation
are equally valued, and we direct attention to the aesthetic ideas behind each
image. Participants are encouraged to bring existing files

From the Field to the Fine Digital Print
with Linde Waidhofer and Lito Tejada-Flores
September 26-October 5
In this unique workshop, we follow the entire process, from landscape photography, to refinement of the image on the computer, to the finished archival fine art print. It is all about using digital techniques to capture, prepare, and present images in an optimum way.
We begin with three days of intensive landscape photography in one of the most mysterious and beautiful corners of the West—the Bisti Badlands of northern New Mexico. On Sunday we travel to Santa Fe to begin a week-long intensive in the Workshops state-of-the-art digital lab.
Our week in Santa Fe begins with editing, critiquing, and sequencing a small portfolio of images, after which Lito and Linde present a two-day intensive on Photoshop workflow for fine-art digital printing. The rest of the week is devoted to working on the images captured in the Bisti Badlands. Each participant creates a final portfolio of finished prints on the Workshops archival pigment printers.
