During the workshop, we will privately visit some of the most representatives buildings of Gaudi and we will take amazing pictures. We will then visit Salvador Dali's Theatre-Museum and which will be one of the main inspirations for our photographs.

In Celebration of the Black and White Print Video
We hope you enjoy this video. Epson came to our home and interviewed Kim about Black and White Photography and his life experiences. "Journey to the home of Edward Weston and see his original darkroom. Then listen to his grandson Kim talk about his photographic heritage workshops and his own highly collected traditional Black-and-White work. To many, Black-and-White is the very definition of photography. In addition to a series of tutorials on digital Black-and-White printing, we are honored to present in-depth interviews from two photographic icons (John Sexton) who work with traditional Black-and-White tools. Their incredible insight provides inspiration to us all as we celebrate the Black-and-White print, be it traditional or digital". Thank you Dano!

The Palm Desert Workshop Experience
Fun at September Wildcat Studio Nude Workshop
We had a really great time at the 2014 September Wildcat Studio Nude workshop this last weekend. We had a few returnees, which is always a good testimonial! We met several new photographers and 3 out of the 9 students were women. That made a nice mixing of the groups. In a predominantly male industry, we love having the opportunity to have women photographers participate in our nude workshops.
