Grand Teton National Park and surrounding areas will be the focus of this workshop. The spectacular Tetons, hopefully snow-covered, beautiful forests, lakes, and streams provide the backdrop for an intensive photographic experience with Don Kirby. Co-Instructors Jon Stuart and Thomas Stimpson of the Jackson Hole Art Association are intimately familiar with the region and, with Don, offer a unique combination of technical experience and creative insight which promises to make this workshop an unforgettable experience. Early morning and late afternoons will feature field sessions with camera-side evaluation of composition and exposure. At mid-day, the instructors will lead print viewing and critique sessions and will present their own work. All formats, color/B&W, and technologies are fine. Critiques will be based on print portfolios.

Don Kirby has photographed throughout the western United States for thirty years, initially concentrating on the Colorado Plateau, the "Canyon Country" of Utah and Arizona. A half -century later, he has emerged as the preeminent photographer of wheat country, a master of both his medium and chosen subject matter. His sweeping, geometric photographs of wheat fields in the American Northwest manage to convey both a sense of wonder and deep understanding of the land--our dependence on it for our survival, and its own survival of the uses and abuses we impose upon it.
