classes
Close to Home Five Sundays, 1/6 - 2/3 12-4pm $215
Drawing inspiration from the Portland Grid Project, a photographic essay documenting
Portland one square map grid at a time, this workshop consists of photographing randomly
selected areas of the city, while continuously exploring and establishing each participant’s
personal style and vision. Under the guidance of noted photographer Shawn Records, you’ll
see that exotic locations aren’t nearly as critical in the making of great pictures as a clear focus
and awareness. Each meeting will begin with a review of student work followed by a group
photo field trip. Instructor: Shawn Records
The Forbidden City
Five Saturdays, 2/2 – 3/1 6-9pm $195

Nan Goldin, Larry Clark, Joel Peter
Witkin and many others, veteran street
photographer Bobby Abrahamson will
guide you through the process of choosing
a topic, gaining access, developing your
photographic vision, and mustering the

courage to embark on your own secret
photographic journey. Students will be given challenging weekly assignments, and/or can work
on a long-term project of their choosing. Classes will involve slide shows, lectures, critiques,

What a Zoo!
Sat & Sun 2/23 & 2/24 10-4pm $295
Zoo animals take the spotlight in this lively
and colorful two-day workshop in conjunction
with the Oregon Zoo. This is an unparalleled
opportunity to get up close and personal
with beautiful exotic animals such as a ninebanded
South American armadillo, unusual
lizards, owls, wonderfully patterned snakes,
a spunky kinkajou, and a bevy of beautiful
insects, as well as skulls, antlers, snakeskin,
and other photogenic “biofacts.” You’ll also
get hands-on studio lighting instruction as you
work with handlers, props, and backdrops to
create beautifully striking photographs of your
own. This workshop is a fantastic chance to expand your photographic repertoire with unique
subjects and opportunities. Day one will begin with a lighting overview, followed by two full
days photographing zoo animals in Newspace’s professional lighting studio! Manual camera
proficiency and a digital SLR required. Instructors: Stu Mullenberg, Michael Durham
