For further information or a class outline contact John
Wilson at 872-8234 or send an e-mail to www.aperture395@aol.com.
To register call 760-872-1565 or 934-2875. If you prefer just drop by either campus and register between
10 AM and 6 PM from Monday thru Thursday or Friday from 10 AM until noon. Register as soon as possible as some of the workshops look like they will fill early.
Note: The cost for each workshop is $20.00 each -- so splurge and join me this summer for a great weekend or two. The workshops are a sort of "rights of passage" for photographers requiring early risings and long days, but the comradeship of a group of photographers is something special and all emerge better photographers and friends from the experience.
Itineraries for each workshop will be available at the first meeting. Hours will vary depending on class objectives ( the night photography workshop will only have one dawn shooting), season, and shoot locations.
