“What did I learn? There is a really nice group of photographers out there. Don’t cut off body limbs. Think – what do I want to say? I must make the images my own. Be authentic to yourself. Photograph the reaction not the action. Think in metaphors. If I see a place that says to me I need to make a picture. Stay there, sit and wait…We’ll be at the wall on Valencia and 23rd putting up our images of San Francisco. These images are for the People.“ – Carla SaundersEmilio Bañuelos | Dick Beery | Elena Carrasco | Zulema Carrasco | Michael J.

Thank you for your hard work. It was a pleasure to work with you. We would like to share some thoughts about the workshop.
“…it was exhausting and exhilarating and AMAZING. If you’ve ever hit a wall in your photography it’s a great idea to shake it up and take a workshop specializing in something different enough to challenge your photographic view.” - Patti Taylor
“the diversity that the attendees would bring to the table from young under-graduates from the Academy of Art to a retiree traveling in from Ohio … Despite of our differences the group quickly gelled through a couple of exercises, chatting and our common love of photography.” - Martin Taylor
“…to have opportunity to sit down with both Emilio and then Ibarionex for a goodly amount of time each going through my images, to talk about both the photographic process and editing choices. This may have been the most impactful time for me of the whole workshop.” – Martin Taylor
“I learned new skills, was made aware of some bad habits, and overall am more confident about taking my urban photography and street portraiture to a higher level. I also met and was inspired by many very talented photographers.” – Brad Evans.
“San Francisco was both exhilarating and exhausting. Though I wasn’t able to spend a lot of time making my own work, it was incredibly satisfying to help facilitate the work of others, especially when I saw so many breakthroughs happen.” - Ibarionex Perello

Thank you! As the days go by I realize how much I learned and how nice it was to hang out with other people who loved making photographs.
