Digital BW, The Print

The Golden Trout B&W Photo Workshop is happening.  We have all the approvals
to have the workshop for up to 15 people -- the group maximum limit for
Wilderness areas.  It's scheduled for July 2 through July 8.  The camp is
located just west and 6000 ft. above Lone Pine, CA.

If you are interested in more information, contact me off list.  Send me a
mailing address to receive a brochure.  The total cost for this one week
workshop -- "room" (tent cabin) and board -- is $395.  It's non-profit.

The first 15 deposits get the spots.

Some have asked whether it's OK to come if you're a beginner.  Yes, of
course.  (A couple have even confessed that they'll be shooting color.)
