BLACK AND WHITE
A Darkroom Weekend with Rod Dresser and Richard Knepp
July 18-20, 2008
$300
This is the second darkroom seminar Rod and I have collaborated on; this one is for those with a solid foundation in black and white darkroom processes. In Rod's state-of-the-art studio/darkroom in Pacific Grove, demonstrations will build on that foundation, with topics to be covered including negative exposure and development with emphasis on Ansel Adams Zone System, techniques for coaxing the subtle nuances from those negatives that result in an expressive final print, toning and much more.
For those who don't know Rod Dresser, he spent much of the 80s as a special assistant to Ansel Adams in the master's Carmel Highlands studio, and to the Adams Trust following his death in 1984. In 1987 he established a successful commercial studio in San Francisco; among his clients were Apple Computer, Harvard University, University of California and Union Bank. He was commissioned by Jordan Winery to produce a book that eventually became an award winner for its design and photography. Rod returned to the Monterey Peninsula in 1991 to accept a position as Business Manager for the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust. In 1995 he left to devote himself to fine art photography and education. His work is included in collections around the world, among them San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles County Museum, Monterey Museum of Art. He is represented by galleries in Tokyo, Taos, Los Angeles, Austin and his home gallery in Carmel, Weston Gallery. His monograph Artist's Choice: The Photographs of Rod Dresser was published in 2000. He is a member of Freestyle Photography's Advisory Board and is recognized for his excellence as a photographic educator.
Here's the complete prospectus for this seminar. Register with either Rick or Rod, but we'll ask that you complete Rick's registration form. The date coincides with a major event on the Monterey Peninsula; there is apparently no summer weekend that doesn't! if you'll be joining us, I'd recommend making accommodation arrangements soon.
CANYON COUNTRY: Eastern Arizona and Utah
October 19-25, 2008
$695
From Canyon de Chelly to Canyonlands and points nearby and between, this landscape - both the natural and the cultural - is as rich and diverse as any on the planet. We'll begin to the south, exploring Canyon de Chelly and the surrounding Navajo country, so rich in history, tradition and beauty. Our "travel day" will bring visits to Shiprock - the Navajo's rock-with-wings - and Anazazi ruins and rock art near the Coloado border. Our northern base of operations will be Moab, for trips into Canyonlands, Arches, the redrock cleft carved into the Colorado Plateau by the river, still majestic and mighty as it moves towards it's confluence with the the Green and San Juan. Featured will be an all-day Navajo guided excursion into Canyons del Muerto and de Chelly planned especially for our photographic needs, and visits into districts of Canyonlands prior seminars haven't explored.
A deposit of $150 - fully refundable until August 30th - will hold your spot. REGISTER!
