This is an exciting exploration of photography's powerful new digital tools with one of the most knowledgeable artists in the field. Your slides or negatives can be scanned and digital cameras will be demonstrated, all with a goal of setting you on a course that could be the visual equivalent of never-never land. You'll walk in with your photographs and your imagination, and walk out with a new vision of where photography is headed. And how to help shape that future.

Digitized photographs are almost infinitely malleable. Montage and collage is seamless. Restoration of damaged and faded photographs is a joy. Funky color balance can be faithfully corrected. Archiving takes on whole new meaning. Strange new worlds can form before your eyes. With digital cameras, the moment captured is seen only moments later.

Finally imagemakers can control what happens to their reproduced work, create beautiful duotones, tritones, or even quadtones, making a reproduction imitate the depth of a silver print or stay true to the carefully controlled color of your original.

This workshop will explore photography's evolution into a digitally based medium, demonstrating the technology and discussing the implications and opportunities of this dramatic change.
