I wanted to let this list know that there are only a few spaces remaining in the February 22-23, 2014 Photographing Flowers for Transparency workshop here in Berkeley, Ca. Don't miss this unique opportunity!
As one participant in the 2013 weekend workshop noted, "Learned a new photographic technique that I can apply not only to flowers, but to other subject materials." Another workshop photographer added, "Thank you for an amazing weekend workshop. Have waited a long time to take this workshop. The weekend flew by. Have much to digest and process. Highly recommended."
There are no plans to give this workshop again in the United States until 2015, and there is nowhere else you can learn the techniques I have pioneered for photographing and processing flowers for transparency on a light box.
As workshop size is strictly limited, to avoid disappointment, don't delay. Here's the registration link for this opportunity.
Also please note two free presentations, The Art & Craft of Photography in Berkeley, CA on February 8, and Making the Botanical Photo: The Digital Print as Artifact at PHOTO Fine Art Photography in Oakland on June 7.You can also join my ongoing Photographing Flowers online workshop via this link (and get $10 off the normal full price of $59.95).
Finally, registration is now available for my two courses over the summer in Heidleberg, Germany at the Heidelberger Sommerschule der Fotografie. Click here for Creative Flower Photography, and here for Creative Black & White Masterclass. Please consider joining me for some exciting photography in charming Heidelberg.

pioneered. The two-day format will give participants the chance to
