Aperture Nature Photography Workshops First Expedition: Sep. 24-27, 2008
The Aperture Nature Photography Workshops first expedition is happening September 24-27, 2008 at Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming. This trip is just one of four unique workshops being held at Olympic, Tetons, Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks. The event pairs four amateur photographers with four pros in some of the most beautiful locations on earth. The collective works of the photographers involved will be included in a new book published by Peachpit Press, with some proceeds going to a photographic charity.
The amateur photographers who attend were selected in a nationwide contest, and each photographer (professional and amateur), will spend time in the field shooting as well as time in the classroom using Apple Aperture to sort, keyword, rate, edit and share their work. To see the winning entries, which are truly stunning, visit this page.
The event’s media sponsor is one of my favorite podcasts and websites: This Week in Photography, and the corporate sponsors are as follows:
In addition, photographer Lisa Bettany will be reporting on the first expedition to the Tetons.

Photokina 2008 News is Hitting the Airwaves: Here Are a Few Links to Keep Updated
I just read a Twitter message by Dan Havlik, Technology Editor at Photo District News. In the short note (all Twitter notes are brief), he mentioned his article on PDNGearGuide about Day 1 at Photokina, being held in Cologne, Germany from September 23-29, 2008. I like Dan’s writing style and take on things. You can read the article here, and I recommend returning for follow-up articles as the show progresses. In a related article, Dan covers Leica’s announcement of a 37.5 megapixel digital SLR named the Leica S2.
Imaging-Resource.com has an impressive section of their site dedicated to covering the show. There are videos, many press releases, and a lot of well-written articles about the things their editors are seeing. You can find the main page here.
For even more news from the show, interspersed with many other photo-related stories, check out ImagingInsider.com.
For general information about photokina, visit the main show site page here. The official news blog for the show can be found here. I was particularly impressed by the number of Photography exhibitions being held during the event. You can find a list of all the exhibitions on the main show site under “Supporting programme.” I’d love to see the Lomography show. For more about Lomography, visit the Lomographic Society International site. This description is from the official newsfeed: “Always open to visitors, the Analogue Lomography Lounge will offer a gigantic LomoWall exhibition with 100,000 photos and will also host presentations, workshops, and crash courses about analogue photography run by international lomography experts.”
The wide range of exhibitions at photokina truly showcase the power of photography, and the show appears to be THE place for companies to announce and show their new cameras, printers and other photo products.
