The workshops have been in existence for 30 years. I’ve heard only good things about them and finally decided to sign up for “The Poetry Of Perception” led by Keith Carter. I must say between the insights into the personal approach to image making and my workshop classmates it was a truly amazing experience..in many ways life changing.
Over the last couple years I’ve been shooting a lot of personal projects because essentially that’s what got my excited about photography in the first place. I joined forces with two great photographers, David Moore and Art Holman and as a trio we give each other assignments, make prints and critique our work…this keeps us honest and accountable to one another to produce images.
The wisdom I carry from the experience is simply this: Be a brave image maker…don’t dwell, you have a life time to figure out what your photographs mean…there are no surprises in perfection…your photographs are your autobiography.
The images below are from assignments given while at the workshop and some images since I’ve been back.
Really good idea to collaborate with fellow photographers. The outcome is beautiful. Nicely done.
Beautiful work Rick.
Keith is a remarkable teacher.
thanks for the kind words!
Rick, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I think you got what you were seeking in the workshop. I think what we’re seeing here is just the beginning of great things from you.
