“You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have to care about what's around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.”

A
Professional Approach to Photoshop with Fred
Drury
November 10-14
This workshop is for Photoshop users who want to move beyond the basics
and bring their skills to a higher level. The procedures Fred teaches
in this workshop use Photoshop tools specific to the information palette, highlight/shadow,
channel blending, curves (working in the component channels, not the composite),
and sharpening. By the end of the week, participants have a better understanding
of Photoshop’s essential tools and the image optimization process, and
have acquired new techniques to significantly improve the image enhancement workflow.
Digital
Printmaking with Arduina Caponigro
November
17-21
Based on the principle that sophisticated doesn’t have to mean complicated,
the goal of this workshop is to make the digital printing process as clear
as possible, so that you can spend more time making images. Topics explored
include how to manage color correctly and easily, and how to acquire images
(scanning film or processing Raw files with Camera Raw) precisely and efficiently. Participants learn everything they need to know to successfully navigate printer
software and make the most of their work in print.
The
Black-and-White Master Print with George
DeWolfe
December 1-5
This workshop combines advanced perceptual practice with simple tools. As artists
and photographers, our perceptual abilities must be honed to a fine degree;
our tools should be simple, elegant, and few, and yet complete enough to create
any effect of light and form we need to produce presence. We begin with a detailed
study of presence in Old Master paintings and photographs. The next three days
are devoted to learning and applying the perceptual and photographic skills
necessary to achieve presence. The last two days are spent on printing inkjet
photographs for presence achieved in the images. A working knowledge of Lightroom
and Photoshop is essential.
To register for any of these workshops, please call The Workshops at (505)
983-1400, ext. 11.

Taboada during the important days preceding Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the
Dead. Under Marcela’s guidance, participants photograph families as they
prepare for this annual event, visiting local markets for marigolds, candles,
and other goods to decorate family altars. The week includes daily discussions,
thoughtful critiques of the previous day's work, and image presentations on creative
and technical aspects of digital photography. Marcela introduces the images of
renowned Mexican photographers to inspire us as we explore the culture and people
of San Miguel.

Mastering
Your Flash with Julia Dean
November 9-16,
2008
The goal of this workshop is for participants to learn how to use a flash so
well that the outcome looks like beautiful ambient light. Participants learn
to work with a variety of lighting situations, using the flash as both the main
source of light and as a fill light. We spend the week using a flash in TTL wireless
mode, both on and off camera.
Rich in culture, heritage, holidays, and fiestas, San Miguel is a National Historic
Landmark and was recently named to the UNESCO
World Heritage List. View
