It's time for a major overhaul of this web site. I need to either work on it or completely abandon it and take it down. There just seems to be a lot to do and somehow there is less time and energy for it. It has been a busy spring-the end of the semester, a photo workshop with 12 students to France, and then off to the Festival of the Photograph in Charlottesville. In France we spent time in Paris, Dijon, Blois, and Rennes. All of the students did well and made nice pictures. We saw some spectacular exhibitions and I may write a bit on them this summer.
The Festival was spectacular with Mary Ellen Mark, Joel Peter Witkin, and James Nachtwey as the Masters giving large and astonishing presentations. It is interesting how much I learn just bekng in the presence of these people and seeing their photographs while they talk. Every presentation was standing room only. At $99 for a full ticket it is one of the true bargains out there.
