From the Master series : Henry Horenstein

Henry Horenstein

"In all these photographs my goal is very basic. I want to make fundamentally good pictures-well-crafted photographs that make you stop and look and maybe reflect. Beyond that, I have no grand design, no hidden or overt agenda. You can choose to see these pictures in any way you want, as graphic images, as metaphors, or even as documents. It really doesn't matter to me.

"I suppose this is really a very old-fashioned idea. Today's artists are meant to be conceptually more astute, heavily armed with complex ideas and carefully worked out justifications and philosophies. But I don't believe good artists have to be intellectuals or great thinkers. They don't even have to be especially smart-except, of course, about making their pictures or their artwork."

I remember the day I met Henry. I was having lunch with Lou Jones and then out of the blue, Henry showed up! Henry was full of stories. When you first meet Henry, in the very first 10 minutes you 'll understand why Henry is Henry and I tell you: NO ONE else is like Henry! In my opinion, Henry's personality matches his work so precisely. It has a wonderful diversity, a strong visual directness and yet it still keeps you wondering!

Many of us have learned how to photograph using Henry's books and, if you are really lucky, then you have had Henry as a teacher (Henry Horenstein has worked as a photographer, teacher, and author since the early 1970s ).

I'm so happy to be able to have Henry as our teacher and master Photographer for the month July , 2007.

The workshop:

This would be a one of Kind workshop that Henry suggested it: It is called "Question and Answer" workshop. Each member brings only ONE image and only ONE question that needs to be answered.

So when you RSVP "Yes", you'll have one image and one question in mind! You'll need to email me with your question, so I make sure they are not repeated questions. Your question does not have to be related to your image (and if you don't want to bring an image, that's also fine), it can be any question that you really need an answer from our Veteran Photographer, Horenstein.

This way when we get a full room, I'm sure most of your questions are answered!

So the workshop will be an interactive one. If you don't have a question, you could simply join us and listen to the others.

The fee of the workshop : $26.00 by check or $27.50 by paypal.

Please keep in mind, we need to have full payment by June 20th . If you wish to pay by check simply email me and I'll give you all the info necessary.
