Four Evenings with Fine Art Photographers

Hello friends:

In an attempt to unify our disparate photographic community, last year I hosted a series of lectures by fine art photographers. The only requirements were that they had to live in LA, and I wanted a cross section of speakers from various photo communities. We had wonderful lectures by Melanie Pullen, Eileen Cowin, Stephen Berkman, Gil Garcetti, Ann Elliott Cutting, and David Newsom.

This year I am very excited to host another series, through the Julia Dean Photo workshops, featuring four wonderful photographers that live among us! The series starts next Thursday, March 26th, with Hiroshi Watanabe. Hiroshi won the Santa Fe Center's Project Competition last year, and the coveted Critical Mass Book Award resulting in his monograph, Findings, and was the Aperture Portfolio Pick in 2006. His work is sold through a myriad of galleries, and Hiroshi continues his travels capturing the humanity, beauty, and poignancy of the world around us. http://www.hiroshiwatanabe.com/
