| Upcoming Workshops: France and Italy I am offering photography workshops in France and Italy this year. These one week workshops will explore pinhole photography in stunning environments perfect for making unique black and white images. No darkroom or camera experience is necessary. In France I am offering a weekend workshop on May 1 & 2, 2010 at tranquil Le Castelou part of Ariege Arts in the small village of Leran, near the French Pyrenees (about 80 min. south of Toulouse). The fee for the 2 day workshop is 150. Euros. This includes all workshop materials. In this introductory course you will learn to make and use a pinhole camera, and develop the photos using a temporary darkroom. If you are interested in staying at Le Castelou, see their website for more details about the school and the bed and breakfast facilities. The Italy workshop dates are scheduled for June 12 - 19, 2010. If you are interested please contact me by March 31 as this is the application deadline date. We need a minimum number of students to run the course. The Pinhole workshop takes place at the International School of Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture at the breathtaking hill town of Monte Castello di Vibio, halfway between Rome and Florence. See www.giotto.org for details. The weekly rate for the Italy course will be 1,300. Euros. (Does NOT include airfare.) Workshops run one week - Saturday to Saturday. The week long Italy workshop includes:

A FIELD GUIDE TO OBSERVING ART Curated by Dianne Bos September 17 - October 31, 2009 This exhibition highlighted links between science and art in works from McMaster’s collection.  It's You!: Dianne Bos, Unexpected Photographs from Papua New Guinea Curated by Ihor Holubizky. The exhibition is on view from November 7, 2009-January 31, 2010. Confederation Centre of the Arts, ART GALLERY 145 Richmond Street, Charlottetown PE C1A 1J1 , 1-(902) 628-1864 Click here for more information. The exhibition features a selection of black and white and colour photographs taken by Dianne Bos and by children from informal workshops she conducted there, as well as Papua New Guinea artifacts. The landscape and culture of Papua New Guinea (PNG) challenged my established perspective on the environment and pushed me to change my view and approach to photography. This is probably one of the few places on the planet that would feel little effect if all modern technologies failed. I felt this was a good place for me to use my low-tech photo devices.
