Photography columnist and author Frank Van Riper will once again teach his popular 6-week evening workshop in documentary photography and photographic printing at Glen Echo Park's PhotoWorks studio this fall and winter. The Thursday evening classes will begin September 22nd and February 15th respectively and run from 7pm to 10:30pm each week.
In addition, Frank will teach a one day, hands-on flash photography workshop, Saturday, October 1st, entitled "Flash Photography Demystified...or Flash is Your Friend (Honest.)"
In the documentary class students will be expected to initiate or continue a project of their choosing, with the goal of producing a finished picture story by the end of the session. Students wishing to accompany their photo essays with written text are encouraged to do so. Class size is limited. Early registration is suggested. For information on both the documentary course and flash workshop: 301-320-7757.

Personal Photo Instruction in Venice
Part of the fun of working on long-term projects in exotic locales is the people you meet and the friends you make. Over the more than six years that Judy and I have been working on our book about Venice, we have made many dear friends there, among them Mario Mazziol, one of the best and most enthusiastic photographers we ever have had the pleasure to work with. A veteran shooter whose work has been published internationally, Mario is now offering individual photography instruction all over Venice and its environs -- the kind of one-on-one master class most of us only can dream of attending. Mario prefers to limit his workshop size to three people and allows clients to tailor their instruction to their schedules. A native Venetian who loves his city, Mario knows all of its nooks and crannies (trust me: we have been there with him). And his English, his sense of humor -- as well as his rates--are excellent.
