Join us for the last workshop of the 2016 season held at Wildcat Hill this year! Have you been wanting to take a workshop with Kim Weston? Here is your chance to come to Carmel this year. "An Adventure of a Lifetime! That's what Milan and I discussed driving back to Los Angeles. The last few days were awesome. What a wonderful atmosphere to learn in. Kim and Gina, you were awesome hosts. Learning about the Weston legacy first hand was incredible. I was flattered to be able to show some of my work. Shooting side by side with Kim was inspiring. Gwen was awesome and just nailed each concept. Enjoying a delicious lunch and the conversation was enlightening. I could go on and on about the things I'll remember so fondly.
The bottom line is an expression of heartfelt gratitude for allowing Milan and I into your home and teaching us about the Weston Family Style of photography. We are all a sum of our life experiences. This was definitely and Adventure of a Lifetime. I hope to return next year to be able to spend more time on Wildcat Hill. On behalf of my friend Milan and myself, A heartfelt thank you". Gary

2016 June POM - Nude in Dali Museum, Figueres
The 2016 Nude in Dali Museum was taken in the Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain. The Dalí Theatre and Museum, is a museum of the artist Salvador Dalí in his home town of Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain. Dali is buried there in a crypt below the stage. We spent a morning in Dali's Museum with Migel Soler-Roig and our Spain Photo workshop group. We photographed with 4 amazing models in one of the most interesting creative museums in the world. While we were there we were so amazed and delighted and looking back it seems like a dream. Look at the window in this one room with the figure mimicking Dali's own sculpture. There was so much to take in. It was dark in many of the rooms, which was a challenge for Kim and his film camera. But he managed to create several wonderful iconic photographs on this trip! The Nude in Dali Museum is available until June 30th at the special offer of $300. Here you will also be able to view all of the 2016 Print of the Month photographs that have been offered this year. We hope you will enjoy them.

2016 May Print of the Month - Floating Nude, Barcelona
The 2016 May Print of the Month "Floating Nude" was photographed during our 2015 Nude Photo Workshop in Barcelona, Spain on the rooftop of Casa Milà better known as La Pedrera. Casa Milà is probably one of the most famous buildings of the Catalon Art Nouveau period and one of Antoni Gaudi's most ambitious works. It is a container that is a work of art in itself. "La Pedrera" has a catalogue of top level art exhibitions and events all year round, as well as a program of shows, lecture seasons and debates that set the tone for a dynamic, changing society. It is also a place where knowledge and learning are the keys to the construction of a rich, dynamic future society.
2016 April Print of the Month - Casa Mila, La Pedrera, Barcelona
The 2016 April Print of the Month - Nude and Shadow, Gaudi was photographed on the top of La Pradera in Barcelona, Spain. Known as one of Gaudi's last buildings, before he dedicated himself to the building of the Sagrada Familia. The Casa Milà is one of the best known and most impressive buildings in Barcelona. It has no right angles. It is known as the Quarry house. We spent a memorable morning on the rooftop of this building as the sun came up over the horizon. It was amazing and inspiring to be there. Watching the morning sun come up and cast beautiful shadows along the walls and patios. It was enchanting. Here are a few snapshots we took while we spent the morning on the rooftop. We hope you enjoy these.
