Back From School


Just got back from the Ks. Prof. Photog. School @ Bethel College in Newton, KS. This year I had the opportunity to study with Darton Drake (www.dartondrake.com), one of the greatest portrait photographers alive in the country today. This image was taken right after lunch on the last day of class. Darton is a real "Doors" (Jim Morrison) fan so a couple of the other students "made" him a shirt for the last day of class.

His passion and creativity and attention to composition of creating an image was truly inspirational.

Diane also attended the school but she divided her studies to two instructors. The first part of the week she studied with Michael and Kathleen Bishop on creative children's photography. She got some outstanding new ideas from them! Then for the second half of the week she studied with Susan Treft, background creation. We now have three beautiful new muslin backgrounds to use!
