book signing – feb 4th in santa barbara!

one of my life’s biggest privileges is being on the professional photography faculty at the world renown brooks institute in santa barbara, ca. and one of my most proud accomplishments is my recent book titled visual poetry – a creative guide for making engaging digital photographs. this week i have the unique opportunity to take part in an event that celebrates both of these things! here’s the scoop:

books

on thursday feb 4th from 5-8pm, i will be joining 3 of my esteemed colleagues who have also recently published books (pictured above) for a book signing event at the cota st gallery.  while we all teach at brooks, each of us have a different way of thinking, teaching and taking pictures. this type of diversity is one of brooks celebrated strengths and it will make for a fun evening that you won’t want to miss. at the event, the gallery will have books for sale and all the proceeds go directly to the vern miller scholarship fund.

if you live in the area we would be honored to have you stop by – i hope you can make it!

    Bummer! I say that because I’m presently in Ohio and will not be able to make it to the book signing. I would enjoy meeting you and your colleagues. Have fun, even if I’m not there. :-)

    Too bad I live in France… I’d love to have your book signed!
    I’m really thinking over to come live for a while in Santa Barbara… I love that place !

    Cheers !

    Here’s a thought, Chris – a book tour!

    Begin in Seattle (me), then on to Australia (Marjan), France (Nicolas) and hit Ohio (Monte) on your way back. Sounds completely doable – we’ll even put you up.

    Congratulations, I wish I could be there.

    Same story as all the others above! I’d love to have the opportunity to meet all of you! I’ve read both yours and Ralph’s book, and I cannot stop recommending them to other friends in photography. Unfortunately, the road trip from Houston to Santa Barbara is a bit lengthy for me.

    By the way, do you have any galleries in the Houston area?

    Take care!

    Great idea Gary – of course we’d put chris up and show him around and learn heaps along the way because he would also run some (very popular) workshops – i’m dreaming but you never know :-)

    sounds like a great idea. i’ve also talked with ralph about doing a joint workshop – that could be a ton of fun!
