"Dumb Starbucks" Parody Coffee House

Thought this would be relevant to today's lecture. An interesting piece of "art"has popped up in LA. Gawker wrote an article on it and it has been all over Tumblr. The shop claims legality by advertising themselves as an interactive piece of art and that everyone who buys coffee is buying a piece of the "art".

Ernesto Bazan's Workshop Approach

This one-week workshop in Oaxaca represents a great, incredible opportunity for students of all levels to work with Debbie and me.

I've been photographing and teaching workshops in Oaxaca for over a decade. It's a place that mesmerized and captured my attention back in the 80's when I went there for the first time. Since then, I've returned many times and photographed extensively during the Day of the Dead celebrations and daily life in Oaxaca and in the outlying villages of Ocotlan, Tlacolula, Atzompa to mention a few.

Working with one of the peers I greatly admire, this workshop is a dream come true and a wonderful opportunity to work with our students in a place that has been a great source of inspiration.

We will have the opportunity to share many photographic adventures and personal stories with our students.

During this course we'll do our best to help each student get better both in picture taking and in editing his or her own work.

On the first day, we will go over each student's portfolio (no more than 30 images that can be either part of a single story or single images) to help them edit down their work and weed out their weakest images. During this session, Debbie and I will set the bar for each student. The challenge during the workshop will be to stay on top of it or raise it even further. In the afternoon, we will go our to explore the Oaxaca historical center.

In the following days, we will alternate shooting and editing sessions.

We will be doing so for the next five days in the hope of capturing some of the essence of this place and its people.

On our seventh day, the last day of our workshop, we will be doing the final edit and presentation of each student's work. During the week, Debbie and I will lecture the students about our work and show samples of our photographic images.

$2495 includes...

7 days and 7 nights of
photography instruction with Ernesto Bazan

daily reviews, private and group with Debbie Fleming Caffery

single accommodations 7 nights

breakfast and lunch each day

Welcome Feast the first evening

Farewell Feast the last evening
