Took a walk this morning. Made a photo with my iPhone, edited it with Snapseed.

…which brings me to my point…my latest workshop is called IMAGE and WORD.

iPhones, along with Digital SLRs and Mirrorless cameras, are welcome.

I’m teaming with poet and editor Ralph Pennel for this unique online course through BCAC Artisan Gallery. Participants build their camera and writing skills and perhaps create something greater than the sum of its parts.

Beginning this week! Five Thursday evenings - October 15 through November 12. 7-9 PM.

Plus:

- [ ] Scheduled public reading Nov. 21, 2026
- [ ] Scheduled exhibition - April 2027
- [ ] Potential Publication.

Last chance to register is upon us.

Beginning next week- Thursday - October 15 - I’m teamed with poet and editor Ralph Pennel for the first-ever workshop titled - “Image and Word.” It’s an online five-session course through BCAC Artisan Gallery to inspire and guide your growth as photographer and writer.

Here’s a sneak peek and some practice. If asked to write an essay, a poem or just your thoughts about the photograph below, what would you write? Describe the scene. How does this image make you feel? How best to put your feelings into words?

This is just an exercise, a taste of what to expect. More info and registration at this link.

All this snow makes me think that maybe there should be some sort of class or webinar strictly about winter photography. (Cue the very loud announcer)———

“But WAIT! There IS! And it happens TOMORROW NIGHT!”

And you don’t have to leave home to attend.

An old man telling stories…

On a very cold, sunny morning, I used 4x5 sheet film to make this detail of Dark Hollow Falls in Shenandoah National Park. The round-trip hike on an icy trail was about 1 and 1/2 miles. I dressed for the conditions, used cleats on my boots, and stayed safe and comfortable. And that made it possible to fully focus on photography. All of which brings me to my latest workshop with BCAC Artisan Gallery…
