Registration Info
Eddie Soloway is bringing his Natural Eye workshop into the spectacular multi-colored canyon landscape made famous by Georgia O’Keeffe. Our base will be the quaint Abiquiu Inn, an hour and a quarter north of Santa Fe. Our location puts us within easy drives to Ghost Ranch, Plaza Blanca, the Chama River, and the sparsely settled mountains and canyons that have been a magnet to painters, writers, and photographers over the decades. In addition to Georgia O’Keeffe—Ansel Adams, Marsden Hartley, Paul Strand and many others walked these landscapes.
At the heart of any good photograph is both the passion for the subject and your ability to uniquely capture it. If you love the outdoors yet find that your images keep looking like pretty postcards, join Eddie Soloway for an intense week of looking at the natural world with fresh new eyes. “A Natural Eye” strives to develop your eye first, and then bring the technical skills of photography up to it. The workshop is designed to push your seeing from what’s right in front of our eyes into the world of abstractions, reflections, layers, movement, and then deeper into the realm of concepts and imagination.
Northern New Mexico comes alive in October. Cottonwood groves lace the river canyons with a ribbon of yellow. The end-of-day light casts a clarity that has long been a magnet for photographers, writers, and painters. During the week, outdoor experiences in local natural areas take you through important steps to enriching your photographs of the natural world as you find yourself focused less on objects and things, and more on the magic of moments and the essence of places. You stop chasing the light and learn to enjoy the fine art of wandering. You visit the same place in different light and different weather, getting to know it, and hence seeing it with new eyes. You learn that if you hear more and touch more, you will photograph with more sensitivity. You are rewarded by the skills of patience, solitude and emptying. This workshop weaves together eyeopening outdoor experiences, technical lessons, image reviews, and Eddie’s one-on-one meetings with each participant.
