As some of you may be wondering, I have been “gone” for a couple of weeks. Thanksgiving came and whizzed past me. And then I attended a terrific three-day photo workshop in Rhode Island, led by David Williams. It was just the right injection of art + photography that I have experienced in a long time. If I can paraphrase David, his message is essentially, “imbue your work as an art form and all glory will follow.”

If you are a working photographer – no matter what sub-genre your persuasion happens to be – treat yourself to one of David's workshops. You will come away a better photographer and perhaps even a more enlightened human being.
