Nine Francois (Austin, Texas)
Discovering Your Photographic Voice
To be added to the mailing list for information
Now that you are comfortable with your camera and you know how to take technically correct photographs of beautiful sunsets or of special moments, have you ever wondered if there’s more to photography than making pretty pictures? Have you ever dreamed of producing an extensive body of work about something that is directly and personally meaningful to you? Have you ever hoped to embark on a photo project that may someday turn into a book? Would you like to use photography to investigate and learn more about your family, your community, the culture and region you live in?
This workshop is designed to help you find and develop your “voice” in photography. Through visual exercises, photographic assignments, presentations, discussions, and critiques this workshop will help you see and understand how your images connect with one another and will help you move in the direction of creating a thematic body of work that has meaning for you.
It will address questions like:
• How do my images connect? What are they really about?
• What am I trying to say?
• How can I talk about what’s important to me through photography?
• What approach should I use to create this work?
• How do I get started on a meaningful project? What resources are available to me?
• What techniques are conducive to relay- ing my idea?
• How should I edit? How many prints should I aim for?
• What should the final project physically look like?
• What can I do with this project once it’s complete? Who might be interested in publishing, exhibiting, buying this work?
Participants of all levels will benefit from this workshop, however, as it will not focus specifically on technical issues, participants will most benefit once they have a strong command of basic photographic technique (exposure, metering, depth-of-field, output, etc.) and are comfortable using their cameras. Also, photographers of every flavor – from digital documentarists to alternative process fine artists – are encouraged to participate. They will equally benefit in moving their work to the next level.
Nine Francois holds an MFA in photography from The University of Texas at Austin. Her work is internationally published and exhibited, and is included in numerous private and public collections. Ms. Francois currently teaches photography in the Department of Art & Design at Texas State University and in the commercial photography program at Austin Community College. She’s actively involved in various photography projects such as creating a writing and photography program for youth in east Austin, organizing exchange exhibitions between French and Texas photographers, and coordinating round-table discussions on photography. She’s particularly attracted to the “language” of photography and how we use this to communicate ideas and sensibilities.)

Mano Lista Photography Workshops
With its inaugural season, Mano Lista Photography Workshops is offering photographers the chance to experience the riches of small town life in Jalisco guided by knowledgeable residents of Zacoalco de Torres and award-winning American photographers. "The rich color and vibrancy of the local traditions are amazing," says Mano Lista director Sara Puzey "We want to bring artists to share in real Mexican life far from what tourists typically get to see."
Zacoalco is a bustling small town of around 25,000 located an hour from Guadalajara. It's a place where you'll see just as many bicycles in the streets as cars, where family-owned farms and small businesses thrive, and where traditions such as walking around the town square on Sunday nights are still preserved. Mano Lista is run by residents of Zacoalco and American artists seeking to host a cultural exchange between the small town and the visiting artists. Participating photographers will visit local farms, artisans, and festivals, and each workshop will culminate in an exposition of the group's work in Zacoalco's Cultural Center.
†Jane Fulton Alt's Refining Your Creative Vision†workshop from January 9-16, 2009, will coincide with the celebration of the Virgin of Guadaloupe. For more information, go to www.manolistaworkshops.com or email info@manolistaworkshops.com.

Morocco
Karen Gordon Schulman
Magical Morocco
A Photographic and Cultural Adventure
October 18 – November 1, 2008
Combining the history and natural beauty of this rich and fascinating country with first-person encounters, we will visit native villages, ancient medinas, and craftsmen’s workshops, sharing experiences and sipping mint tea: symbolic of the warm, sincere Moroccan generosity. We will enjoy the sights in vibrant Marrakech and ancient Fes, rug shopping, palace visits, and an unforgettable journey into the Sahara on camelback for sunrise, and much more. Hotels are comfortable, as is the private, air-conditioned coach for land transportation; most meals are included. An expert local Moroccan guide will add his unique touch to this extraordinary trip, sharing his insights into and his love of this exotic land. We will have a cordial welcome in this country with its irresistible allure and warm hospitality. Photo opportunities are everywhere. Join me!
"I try to encourage each person to give themselves the permission to make mistakes, the permission to create," Karen says. "The more we learn to “see” with our mind, heart, and spirit, the more of an adventure life becomes. I welcome all skill levels and enjoy offering guidance to those with stronger left-or right-brain approaches to photography, to strengthen the other side."
