(From Al Weber's 2010
Newsletter)
"Famed as the home of Dirty Harry, and
others, (such as Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and Wynn Bullock). Of course
we'll do Point Lobos and find a few of Edward tripod holes. This is Kim's
bailiwick. On to the old Coast Road, once traveled only by a stagecoach.
This is a favorite of Weber. And somewhere along the way, we'll work in
David. Never fear".
"This stretch of the Central California
Coast is special. A narrow, twisty road, home to humongous motor homes and
insane motorcyclists, contrast the rugged cliffs and crashing waves.
Sometimes a biker also crashes, but don't feel too sorry for them as the
last one sued the state and got a 7 plus million of your dollars. The
weather can never be predictable. Some sun. maybe a little rain and always
lots of wind. "The Greatest Meeting of Land and Sea in the World" said
painter Francis McComas, and that might be hard to challenge. McComas, While
doing a giant mural map of the Monterey Peninsula in 1926, got a ticket in
Pacific Grove for speeding. therefore McComas omitted Pacific Grove from the
map. Kim lives in Edward's old house on Wildcat Hill, about a mile south of
Point Lobos. Weber lives up the hill, just above and David, God bless him,
lives way back in Connecticut. But don't let that fool you, David is one
crafty old rascal, and sees many things long overlooked by others".
"Days will be spent in a run and shoot
mode. Evenings will be back to the studio to swap lies and horror stories.
We'll look at prints, but this workshop is about making photographs of a
fine landscape/seascape. We can discuss this further after dark with a glass
of wine in hand".
Any camera, any size, any process.
