Well, it sometimes takes a little while, but I am delighted to finally announce that the first meeting of “My Seattle”, an ongoing course in Street, Documentary, and Travel photography, will take place on Tuesday, September 22nd, 6:30-9:30 pm, at my loft in the Tashiro Kaplan Building in Pioneer Square.
(More posts soon, regarding other courses and workshops…check back frequently!)
The “My Seattle” class will meet weekly, to shoot the people, culture, and environment of various Seattle neighborhoods. Interspersed with field trips to shoot in Ballard, Georgetown, the I.D, Pioneer Square, and other Seattle neighborhoods (timing by mutual agreement, and as dictated by Seattle weather!) we’ll hold group critiques of our work.
The critiques will address both artistic vision and technical matters…. we will perfect low light and night photography skills, improve use of on camera and auxiliary flash, deal with the challenges of photographing architecture, both interior and exterior, enhance our use of color, and learn to produce exciting and inviting travel photographs. In fact, we’ll address just about any technical problem that comes up, while working to improve and fine-tune our ability to make strong personal statements.
Over time, we’ll edit our work down to the absolute best images, and by Spring we should be ready to publish a book, , using one of the online publishing services (such as Blurb or Picaboo), and show off our very personal view of the city we live, love, work and play in
The course will be structured in 10 week segments, with a break of 2 or three weeks between segments, in order to roughly correlate with the quarterly calendars of other educational institutions.
Cost will be $415 per 10 week quarter. Refer a friend who signs up for the same quarter as yourself, and receive a 10% rebate on your own tuition!
And if for some reason you miss a class, 10% of your paid tuition will be applied to your subscription for the following quarter. (Sorry, but only one missed class credit per quarter!)

N.B. It is a difficult time for many or us, with the economy in a shambles, and many of us struggling to meet obligations. I strongly believe that everyone should have access to essentials, such as education and health care, and will always try to make it possible for students to take my classes, whatever their financial situation. If you really want to take this course, but are concerned that the cost might be prohibitive, please contact me, and we’ll see what we can work out…sliding scale, work trade, etc., all are possibilities.
Cheers,
Neil
