PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES AT GHOST RANCH, 2010

Friend and mentor, Kent Bowser, is teaching his fifteenth consecutive year at Ghost Ranch Abiquiu. Your favorite artist was the assistant again this year for Jan term 2010. We had a successful Jan term, and the students always amaze and teach me things. We had nine students this year, including a Chinese foreign exchange student who is attending Depauw University in Greencastle Indiana. January was snowy again this year but warmer so there was a lot of mud. Here is some of my black and white work done at Ghost Ranch...link to more pictures

Kent Bowser continues to teach black and white landscape photography at Ghost Ranch with several offerings throughout the year as well as the Jan term class. Would you like to brush up on photography skills that you haven't used for awhile? Are you a begginner who is interested in working in a real darkroom with film and paper? Whatever your level of interest, there is probably a class for you at Ghost Ranch's upgraded and well maintained darkroom facilities. For a description and calendar of Kent's classes in 2010, and more of Kent Bowser's photography see Bowser's updated guest pages. Kent also printed the William Parker Little images seen on this site.
