Quote
of the Month
"Up to and including the moment of exposure, the photographer is working in an undeniably subjective way. By his choice of technical approach, by the selection of the subject matter…and by his decision as to the exact cinematic instant of exposure, he is blending the variables of interpretation into an emotional whole."
-W. Eugene Smith

| Chef Robert's Recipe
for July |
© Kendrick Disch |
Many workshop participants have requested recipes for various
lunch items. We are happy to feature the following recipe from
Chef Robert:
Watermelon Gazpacho
4 cups peeled watermelon, diced
1 cup red bell pepper, diced & seeded
1 cup diced roma tomato
1/2 cup red onion
1/4 cup jalapeno, diced & seeded (+/-)
1/4 cup cilantro (packed)
2 tbsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup squeezed lime juice
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups diced white bread
kosher salt & black pepper to taste
Roughly dice all ingredients and combine in large mixing bowl. Let sit in bowl
for at least 1/2 hour to soften and break up (ideally in fridge or on ice). Puree
all ingredients using mixer or blender and strain using a medium hole strainer.
Check seasoning and acidity level and adjust as necessary. Chill at least one
hour prior to serving.
Note: For pronounced watermelon flavor, half of all ingredients by volume should
be watermelon. Watermelon seeds do not need to be removed prior to pureeing (they
are a good source of nutrients). |

Photography Workshops in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
© Norman Mauskopf |
In the fall of 2007, the Santa Fe Workshops
presents its seventh annual series of one-week photography
workshops in the historic Mexican town of San Miguel
de Allende. Veteran Santa Fe Workshops instructors
lead 14 workshops in personal vision, figure study,
documentary story telling, travel photography, and
portraiture, along with workshops exploring Mexican
culture and heritage. Instructors include Macduff
Everton,
Norman
Mauskopf, Sarah
Meghan Lee, Paul
Elledge & Leasha
Overturf, Elizabeth
Opalenik, and Renie
Haiduk.
San Miguel is one of Mexico’s most charming
colonial towns, with narrow, serpentine, cobblestone
streets that wind through sixteenth- and seventeenth-century
stone buildings. Rich in culture, heritage, holidays,
and fiestas, San Miguel is a National Historic Landmark,
and as such, no new buildings can be constructed
in the downtown area. It has long been a center for
the arts and home to an international community of
artists, writers, and sculptors. San Miguel has the
feel of a small European city. Its people are friendly
and warm, and it is a safe town where strolling its
beautiful streets at night is a local tradition.

the Santa Fe Workshops Web site. Click on a course

Guelaguetza—Dance
of the Gods: Oaxaca, Mexico
with Raul Touzon
July 21-28
Join Raul Touzon and award-winning Mexican photographer Marcela Taboada, a long-time
resident of Oaxaca, for this incredible photographic opportunity. Guelaguetza—a
Zapotec word signifying “offering”—was the term used for the
annual ceremony and celebration by which the pre-Hispanic inhabitants of Oaxaca
thanked the gods for sufficient rain and a bountiful harvest. During this workshop
week, participants will witness the Guelaguetza celebration in the village of
San Antonino, one of the few remaining places where the event is celebrated in
the traditional way, where we have access to photograph the dancers and the event.
Other excursions include Monte Alban, Teotitlan del Valle, and Mitla.
Each day we review the previous day’s images. Our week also includes discussions
and demonstrations of digital camera settings, accurate metering and exposure,
the rules of composition, and creative uses of light. Other topics explored in
this digital photography workshop are editing, sequencing, story development,
and the key tools in Photoshop and Bridge for the development of an efficient
digital workflow.
The Oaxacan Tourism Board is pleased to announce that the City of Oaxaca,
Mexico and Central Valleys have returned to normal activity. Hotels, restaurants,
and other services have reopened their doors and look forward to visitors returning
to their beautiful and secure city.
For complete details and additional photos, please visit
Raul's Web site. To register for this workshop, call the Santa Fe Workshops
at (505) 983-1400.
