Into Burning Man

Hey everyone,

I'm disappearing into Burning Man in a couple of days and when I emerge I'll post some images.  I hope everyone is doing well and getting into their own work with renewed enthusiasm.  I know I am.

Thank you Carlos for getting this going!  I like staying in touch with everyone this way.

Best to all,

Nick

Greetings!!  I hope everyone has made it home safe, and now have adjusted to the "real" world as they say.  I am really happy that you have started this blog!  I hope everyone joins in and keeps the spirit of the workshop alive back in your home town!

I look forward to seeing the work, and hearing about what is going in your world.

Paul

The beginning...

Contemporary Black & White Portraits is the name of a photographic workshop held in Santa Fe, at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, between the 3rd and the 10th of August 2008, by Paul Elledge and Leasha Overturf.

A group of 12 passionate photographers meet there for the first time, to learn from Paul and Leasha a new approach to the beautifull Art of Portraiture.

After 7 intense days of lectures, demos, studio and on location photography, critiques and discussions, we all came to a new understanding of what it is to make pictures, in this specific case, to make portraits.

This blog will be a private space where we will publish some of our images, and share our opinions and critiques regarding each others portraits.

Let's see how it works.
