Teaching Photography
Since 1999, I have taught photography, in both a semester-long course and an intensive week-long workshop, as a way of investigating, documenting, and understanding the identity of place.
Sensing Place: Photography as Inquiry:
The ClassThis course explores photography as a disciplined way of seeing, of investigating landscapes and expressing ideas. Two weeks of observing and recording light in a daily journal is followed by exercises in light, significant detail, and poetics, culminating in a photographic essay on a particular place.
Sensing Place: Photography as Inquiry:
The Lecture SeriesIn 2006, the class was supplemented by a lecture series by a diverse group of photographers on using photography as a form of inquiry in understadning people and place. Each lecture is approximately 60 minutes long, followed by discussion of 30 minutes or more.
