Listen and watch for a preview of this upcoming class.
A special class in a special place. Composing Effective Images with Art Wolfe at the Arboretum in Seattle. February 3-5. This class includes a “Field Session” where we take what we learn in the classroom and then go right out and practice.
This class has the added benefit of beginning Friday night at Art’s home to meet one another and begin learning. Don’t miss this.
Well, here is a good way to kick off the new year. The January-February 2012 issue of Orion Magazine has a photograph of mine on the cover.

What an incredible year it was! I got to meet so many very nice people all over the world. I also turned 60 and became an orphan this year.
Thank you all for participating with me in workshops, tours, classes and in the studio. We all learned so much from each other.
Thanks also to my incredible staff and fellow associate instructors for supporting me and helping me be prepared for the multitude of places and events I touched.
Before we launch into the next year with a full head of steam, enjoy a brief backward glance of some of the places I traveled to this year teaching workshops and classes. I find this is a great way to catch my breath before diving in again. Forgive me if I didn’t mention your spot, even though I was really there.

You can too, and here is how you can get out there this winter at little cost.

We are offering an expanded version of this popular class. Now Composing Effective Images will include a field session. February 3-5, 2012. The FIELD EDITION is available only in Seattle, WA.
For those who are ready to take the next step and work in the field with Art Wolfe, this class is perfect. It is a perfect transition from the classroom seminar that will better prepare you for an intensive field workshop. For the many who have already taken Art’s popular Art of Composition Seminar and would like to continue their photographic exploration with a master this is your perfect opportunity.
We are packing so much into this class, that Art will actually begin his first lecture at the opening reception in his home on Friday night.

This would make a great gift for your photographer friend or relative. They would always remember this great experience.
Art has some fun, and as you will see, explains why Dogs Make Us Human.
