A workshop photographing traditional working cowpunchers, the men and women who make their living on horseback on the ranches where they work. There will be the opportunity to shoot portrait and documentary photos. The workshop will also take advantage of the rugged landscape and historic buildings and homesteads in Bondurant, Wyoming, approximately thirty miles south of Jackson. All formats and styles--color, black & white, film, digital--are welcome. Emphasis is on expressive photographs, both in field and critique sessions. Participants will stay at the Black Powder Guest Ranch for the first three days of the workshop and then travel to Jackson for a final day of demonstrations in the Art Association Photography lab by Jay Dusard, the celebrated "darkroom dinosaur."

Jay Dusard was awarded a 1981 Guggenheim Fellowship to photograph working cowboys from British Columbia to Chihuahua. He is also renowned for his landscapes of the North American West. Jay taught photography for seven years at Prescott College, Arizona, and has conducted photography workshops for over thirty years. Jon Stuart is the Director of Photography at the Art Association.

"Both Jay and Jon were excellent. Having attended photo workshops since 1992, this had the best instructors by far."

"The instructors were top notch and not only helped my photography skills but imparted a true sense of the Western way of life. It was great!"

"My excitement is already building to come back next year."
