Photography Capture the unusual in the every day on the streets of Santa Fe. Over-familiarity with our environment can make us blind to what is really going on in the world around us. in this informal four-hour workshop, you'll do more than stop and shoot the roses, you'll learn to express your view of the world--whether your interest is in documenting life as you see it, capturing an artful interpretation of a scene or taking pictures purely for the pleasure of it. Street photography often concentrates on a single human moment, the 'decisive moment' -- a stolen kiss, a man jumping a puddle, a woman lost in her thoughts in a diner, or a row of bicycles glowing in the sunlight. In myriad settings in and around the heart of town, we will explore these bread-and-butter moments of street photography. Techniques on invisibility, overcoming shyness to ask permission as well as getting releases for your photograph will also be covered. Knowledge of your camera -- whether it's a manual or point and shoot, film or digital--is essential.
