 | Personal Vision June 13, 2008 – June 15, 2008 How can we make meaningful images - whether setting foot in our own backyards or an exciting new destination? During this weekend workshop we will look at images and photograph at all hours, both inside and out, to discover how we each experience a place in our own way and how that personal moment in time can evoke emotion and tell a story to others. We will investigate what attracts us to a particular spot and compels us to stop, press the shutter release and capture that place and moment forever. How does that solitary moment translate to others? Upon reviewing your work, Jill will provide personalized assignments designed to teach you how to analyze the picture making process to create images that evoke a response and further thought from the viewer. Through critiques and shooting assignments, students will learn editing skills which will advance their personal vision.It does not matter if you shoot film or digital. What matters is how you see and record an image to take it beyond the snapshot.

 | Merging Digital and Historical Processes June 15, 2008 – June 20, 2008 Photographers’ FormularyMontana http://www.photoformulary.com Merging Digital and Historical Processes This workshop is for photographers, printmakers, painters and anyone interested in mixing photographic imagery with other mediums. We will explore fresh possibilities as we dialogue between current digital tools and historical processes. The week is designed to teach students that analog and digital tools can be used in tandem: there is no reason to discard the darkroom for the digital lab or vice versa. You can go back and forth between the 19th and 21st century processes as far as your imagination will allow. Bring images that you have already captured to combine with new ones you will take in Montana along with scans of objects you find along the way. Digital negatives will be made so that students can produce cyanotypes and kallitypes and use these along with digital transfers. The possibilities are endless.Participants should have a basic to intermediate knowledge of Photoshop and the darkroom. |

This week-long workshop will teach students how to work with all types of negatives, from pinhole Polaroid negatives and paper negatives to digital negatives. The following processes will be used for the printing of images: cyanotype, Van Dyke brown, kallitype and palladium.
