Greetings! Do any of you well educated folks remember Walter Chappell? Well, yes, he is still alive and is holding a 4 1/2 day workshop on photographing the nude in the landscape. The problem is that the school that is organizing this event has really slacked on promotong it--only a few flyers locally and some info on their local internet site. For those of you who don't know who this guy is, this is a once-in-a-lifetime (literally) chance to work with a real photographic legend. His photographs have been exhibited and collected in virtually every important collection :MOMA and the Met in NYC; Center for Creative Photography; The Smithsonian; Polariod Corporation; and the George Eastman House. He was instrumental in founding Aperture Magazine, and has been an editor and major contributer throughout its history. The workshop will be held on National Forest land next to Walter's home in northern New Mexico. The scenery is almost as unreal as the opportunity to take this workshop. Cost is $600.00 and covers all meals (Full-time dedicated cook) tuition and model fees. You can either camp on-site or lodge nearby. The problem is that we need at least 2 more people to sign up to make this thing fly. I ONLY HAVE UNTIL THIS SATURDAY, JULY 19TH TO GET 2 MORE PEOPLE OR THE THING IS CANCELLED!!!! Understand that I have no stake in this venture, other that to take this class. Please E-mail me - jeffnicklason@yahoo.com - if you or anyone you know is interested, but hurry! Thank you, Jeff Nicklason
