Changed Through Photography: Workshop Stories

© Nadezda Nikolova

Workshops have been pivotal experiences in the creative lives of so many photographers—both students and teachers. Workshops have shaped who we are as photographers and as artists.

Elizabeth Opalenik and Reid Callanan discovered photography over 40 years ago in Rockport, Maine. Both were course assistants at the Maine Photographic Workshops. Since then, their lives have been intertwined through workshop experiences in Santa Fe, San Miguel, Provence, Havana, and Tuscany. The same creative connections and long-lasting friendships hold true for so many of you in our extended workshop community. Join us as we celebrate the life-changing presence of workshops in our lives.

Creativity Continues at Santa Fe Workshops with a presentation on Wednesday, March 24 from 6pm to 7pm MT called Changed Through Photography: Workshop Stories. This free evening event is hosted by Elizabeth Opalenik and Reid Callanan; they will be joined by a collection of friends, including John Paul Caponigro, Jennifer Spelman, Jim Richardson, Renie Haiduk, and Alan Ross, for an inspiring and educational evening of workshop stories.

Join us WEDNESDAY 3/24 6:00 PM Mountain time for another Creativity Continues FREE event!
