»Seasonal Staff Arrive

One sure sign that our summer workshop season is right around the corner is the arrival of young and energetic photographers to join our staff.  Most are fresh out of college or on their way to graduate school in the fall, but for now they will be in Santa Fe for a summer to remember for the rest of their lives.

They have joined our year-round staff to get campus ready this week and welcome our first workshop participants who arrive on Sunday.  Our 22nd summer workshop season is about to begin!  It’s not too late to make plans to join us in beautiful Santa Fe…
