Upcoming Workshops

Just a reminder that there are a number of fun educational/learning workshops being held by our good friends and fellow club members Alec Johnson and Rikk Flohr.

Rikk is putting on an introductory session for Lightroom on March 12th at the Ridgeview Center.  This seminar is an incredible value at only $25.00. It will be followed later on by more advanced sessions on Lightroom and will eventually include sessions on Lightroom 4 when it is released.

Alec Johnson is offering a 2 day seminar in April on the use of studio lighting that will be held at his studio in Edina.  Alec is well known for his studio ability and he ha- a perfect studio set up for this type of seminar.  The Crosstown club held a studio session a few years ago, which was just a tremendous success.  For more information click on the image below, or go to ACJohnson:

Both seminars have limited seating, so register early in you are interested as once they fill up, there is no more space available.  Also, whatever the capacity advertised subtract one participant as I have already registered for both!

Also remember both Alec and Rikk conduct workshops outside the twin cities for advanced location training.  Alec conducts a seminar on the North Shore in August. See Below:

And Rikk conducts two seminars in the Dakota Badlands. See Below: 

I was at Rikk's workshop last May and Alec's a few years ago, and can attest that both are educational, fun and well worth it. 

Studio Lighting Seminar

Our good friend and frequent contributor Alec Johnson puts on a landscape workshop every August on Lake Superior.  I've attended one and it is first-rate.  While Alec is putting this workshop on again this year he is also offering a studio lighting seminar in April.  This 2 day seminar will be held in his spacious studio in Edina Minnesota.

The Crosstown club held a studio lighting seminar there a year or so back that was very well received.  

To learn more about the lighting seminar go to: AC Johnson Photography.  You can obtain more information about Alec's workshops and subscribe to his blog at: AC Johnson blog. If you are considering the April workshop you may want to sign up quickly as there is very limited space and it should generate a lot of interest.  

Alex Johnson Art Exhibit

Alex as you may know is a popular local area photographer who has been both a speaker and judge at some of our member clubs.  He teaches a workshop on the North Shore in August (that I have personally attended and would highly recommend), but he also travels there a lot to shot personally as well.

Alex announced he is having his first ever photo exhibition that will include 16 of his best B & W images of the North Shore.  Proceeds from it will go to the benefit Designwise Medical that designs medical solutions for children with unmet needs.  The exhibit will be one night only, November 5th from 6-8pm at Alec's studio in Edina. 

Below is the announcement.  (Click on the image to enlarge the information)
