learning from others………………

It is appropriate that the first image in this bog be from Larry Williams. Larry told me this weekend that he loved the story my wife tells about how much I love looking at other peoples pictures, so much so, that if I were a burglar I would be be caught and arrested on my first job sitting in someone’s bedroom floor pouring over their shoe box full of pictures. I do love looking at the work of other photographers, because it gives me a window into the way they see the world, which helps me refine my vision as well. One of the real joys of teaching photography workshops is the opportunity to see the work of other talented shooters. At the Shaker workshop, this past weekend, I had the chance to see a lot of stunning work from the attendees. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of it, as well, so what will follow is a gallery of some of my favorites from the weekend.

The Best of
the Shaker Village Workshop

Through a technical mistake, I’ve not been able to find the images from John Randall, I’ve requested them and will publish one in a future column. So there you have it, some wonderful work, from wonderful shooters. It’s amazing how much you can learn from the vision of others!

Blessings,

*Note: I have not published my images, as they have appeared the last few days, and Tim Isaacson’s who was a faculty member as well.
