There’s still time to catch my Color, Light, and Form exhibit at The Ansel Adams Gallery. It will up through October 4th, so if you’re visiting Yosemite before then please stop by. The show includes lots of new work, including Willow Leaves and Reflections above.
The Ansel Adams Gallery has just announced the new one-day fall color workshop that I’ll be teaching for them on October 19th. I’ll be taking students to some of my favorite aspen groves on the east side of the Sierras near Mono Lake. For more information visit the Gallery’s web site.
The Ansel Adams Gallery has announced their preliminary 2010 workshop schedule. I’ll be leading the Spring Yosemite Digital Camera Workshop, May 5-9, and The Digital Landscape: Autumn in Yosemite, October 27-31. We’ll be adding more classes as we firm up the details, so stay tuned.
