Overview   Picture the essence of being. A glance in the mirror of your true nature. A communication of your most personal response to your surroundings. Feelings come alive again with every look; a return to the moment in-total. This is the Intimate Image.
As children we saw a world of wonder. We found out for ourselves, aware of no barriers to our curiosity. The world reflected our inner light. As we became older and “wiser” we began to accept the reasoning of others in lieu of our own experience. We sorted and cataloged until all was explained. Our picture of the world became set.
This workshop shows you how to release your conditioned worldview and reacquire your child’s eye. You'll learn how to break through the barriers that prevent you from really seeing. And, you work to incorporate the totality of your sensations into your images, so that you may express the intimate.
You will learn to:
  • see things you’ve never seen before

  • break through your preconceptions into new realms of possibility

  • make images that embody the totality of your experience

  • open yourself to an uncluttered awareness

  • rediscover a child’s sense of awe

The workshop consists of digital presentations, discussions, and exercises John has designed to encourage participants to look at their surroundings with eyes uncluttered by old preconceptions, opening the door for nature's essence to take center-stage in their images. Handouts are provided to supplement the presentations. Participants will take part in group-critique of their work, in a supportive and constructive atmosphere.
