Saturday or Sunday: usually 9am – 4pm. We may do some early morning and late day shoots based on the subject matter and the weather. I will post schedules as soon as some ‘guesstimated’ weather knowledge becomes available.

The working day will be 6 hours, with an hour lunch break to exchange ideas, observations. problems and potential solutions.

I will improvise locations on rain days, but will still hold the workshops.

#1 Saturday October 4th
THE BROAD & PERSONAL VIEW: environmental portraiture
Brattleboro Farmer’s Market, Brattleboro VT
Locally grown produce, prepared food, handmade crafts, and more from Windham VT, and Cheshire NH counties. 

#2 Sunday October 5th
THE  INVESTIGATIVE  EYE: close ups & reportage
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farm
We will have the privilege of photographing a working farm. Plants, animals, people in the fields, vistas and close-ups, exteriors and interiors; all these provide opportunities and challenges. 

As a thank you to the farm owners for this privilege, we will allow them to use some of our photographs for their publicity. We retain our copyright. If you have any qualms or questions about this, please call me at any time to address your concerns and questions.

We will meet in Keene and proceed. 

(CSA has provided economic support and predictability to farmers practicing traditional family farming. It enables them to finance the continuation of family farming, and enables communities to enjoy fresh, local farm products. 

Partnering with local farms by purchasing a “share” in the season’s harvest, consumers can know where their food is coming from and have the satisfaction of supporting local agriculture.)

#3 Sunday October 12th
ELEMENTS OF ART: composition and color
A State Park or Forest
We will walk a quiet place, off the beaten path with easy walking through beauty at hand and in distant views. I will post the location at least a week beforehand. If you have preferences, do let me know.

This could be a day for tripods or it could be a day to dance with wind. In either case, we will be graced with the changing colors of autumn in NH. With all of these focal point possibilities at hand, we will practice decision making and composition, in depth. 

I will be returning in November to offer private sessions to individuals, and small groups.
