World’s Largest Photo on Display until Sat. 9/29

I had an opportunity to visit the exhibition entitled “The Great Picture” at The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California a few days ago. It was spectacular. I plan to do a longer post with some of my photos soon, but I wanted to post this just in case any of our readers are in the area and can make it to the show before it closes.

John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert to Host Encore Workshop

John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert will conduct the Fine Art of Digital Printing workshop for a second time at Brooks Institute of Photography Oct. 29-Nov. 2 in Santa Barbara, California. Their first joint session was held in June and sold out just a few days after it was announced. I’ve known John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert for years and greatly respect the work they’ve done to advance the art of digital printmaking and educate thousands of people through seminars like the Epson Print Academy, the Epson Online Print Experience, their books, exhibitions, and other workshops and events.

John Paul Caponigro had this to say about the upcoming four day session: “This workshop format is so unique in that it gives Mac and me the chance to work one-on-one with attendees throughout the week – something that isn’t usually seen with traditional workshops.” Mac Holbert, co-founder of Nash Editions (widely recognized as the first digital printmaking studio in the world) added: “We were thrilled by the enthusiastic response from participants about the first workshop and we look forward to another opportunity to share our knowledge and experience of digital fine art printmaking with others who are passionate about photography.”

The Center for Fine Art Photography International Show 7/10 Deadline

Last year I judged a show called People, Places and Things, and I visited The Center For Fine Art Photography in Ft. Collins, Colorado to see the show and to do a lecture on inkjet printing. It was a great experience and I was very impressed by The Center’s gallery, as well as the quality of the work I was asked to judge.

Director’s Award – 2006 International Exhibition

The Center’s 2007 International Exhibition of Fine Art Photography call for entries deadline is July 10. It is an open theme, and last year drew entrants from more than 15 countries. Some of the awards include exhibition in The Center’s gallery, publication in Artists’ ShowCase, the Center’s feature section in CameraArts magazine, and cash awards. If you haven’t seen CameraArts magazine, I highly recommend subscribing. I think the whole magazine is very well put together. Their free newsletter is also well worth subscribing to in my opinion, and can be found here.

I am a member of The Center For Fine Art Photography’s Ambassador’s Circle, which is a group of volunteers who help to share information about events and calls for entry. More information about the Ambassadors’ program can be found on The Center’s Website.

Entries are due July 10 and are accepted via The Center’s website. For more info, here is a direct link to the International Show call for entry page.
