| George Harrison, Cow Palace, San Francisco. 1974. 11x14 Pigment Print on Rag paper It seemed miraculous to be going to see a Beatle. I was 19, my friend Rick Lopez and I waited in line for hours to rush the stage for a good place to stand and photograph. It was a great show. George did John Lennon's "In My Life" as one of his favorite songs by one of his dearest friends. His voice was hoarse from touring, but the concert was splendid. These photographs of George mean even more to me now that he is gone. It's nice to have them. This photograph is from custom hand-processed 35mm Ekatchrome, scanned with the Imacon Precision II scanner and printed on the Epson 2400. We're offering an 11x14 inch print, matted to 16x20 and ready to frame for $195, framed for an additional $75. This print at this price is offered through November 30. We'll be taking orders until then, and shipping them out by December 15th. Earthquake Relief 50% of the proceeds from this print will be donated to the Red Cross to aid victims of the Pakistani Earthquake. Featured Print Web page |

 Fundamentals of Digital Photography January 28-29, 2006 Stephen Johnson Photography Studios Pacifica, California. This is an exciting exploration of photography's powerful new digital tools with one of the most knowledgeable artists in the field. This class is designed to provide you with the background and understanding to transition your work into the digital realm. The digital basics are covered here, in real world terms, with care to make sure the concepts are understood and the complications simplified. Those basics are built on to tackle the thorny issues of camera design and choice, data storage, color management and printing. |
 These two days are designed to breakdown misunderstanding, build enthusiasm and make clear fuzzy concepts that can hold your work back from feeling comfortable and in control. Many experienced photographers have taken this class and raved about its helpfullness in their digital transition and understanding. |

| The Landscape of the California Coast Highway One San Mateo: A Digital Photography Field Workshop November 12-13, 2005. The coastline of San Mateo County is one of the most beautiful stretches of land and sea anywhere. From eroded, rocky shorelines, to cliffs, long beaches, redwood forests and small towns, this coast is complex and varied. We'll spend the days roaming the coast and mountain roads, stopping at state parks, county parks and checking out the lunch options along the way.The workshop will be a dynamic combination of a traditional landscape photography workshop while diving deep into the digital age. Technical and aesthetic considerations will be discussed in detail. Our concentration will be on controlling your camera's operation to achieve your desired technical results, while building composition and visual skills to make the photograph what you want it to be. Digital exposure and dynamic range, composition, emotion and amazement-all will be part of our 2-day excursion into the evolving world of digital photography. Enrollment limited to 10 people. |

 * Death Valley in Winter January 14-17, 2006 with the Magical Digital Bus Transformed from a searing 120 degree desert in summer to January's mild 60-70 degree weather, Death Valley is filled with intriguing landforms, delicate flora, strange mineral deposits and expansive views. Mile high Dante's View overlooks the patterned salt flats of Badwater and the Amargosa River below (the lowest point in the United States). Badwater's still water in turn mirrors the blue and white Panamint Mountains to the West. The lunar landscape of Ubehebe Crater's black volcanic fields rise from the rolling desert at the valley's north end with the steep gorge of Titus Canyon and Red Pass to the southeast. |
