This Winter we have signed up for a two hour, eight week, Fine Art Photography class taught by noted Master Photographer Jack Wild. The class is held at Old School Square in Delray Beach.
Old School Square Cultural Arts Center is an award winning arts and entertainment complex and a National Historic Site, just a forty minute drive south of us.
Jack Wild has been an commercial and advertising photographer since 1964. He has photographed everything from peanuts to elephants, model planes to the Concord, as well as well known celebrities.
His clients ranged from Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein to many Fortune 500 firms. His art work has been exhibited in the US, Europe and Asia.
You can find an example of Wild's classes on You Tube.
Google his name, Jack Wild photography, to find examples of his work.
In addition to the weekly classes, the school has a web site;
http://www.meetup.com/photography-The-Art-of-Seeing/
The web site brings together some 800 photographer/artist, many students of Wild. There are monthly photo contests on the web site, like this month's "doors and windows" competition. The web site also facilitates "Meet Ups" or organized photo shoots at various locations.
Photographers post their work on the web site for others to see and comment on. This is truly education in the digital age!
Saturday, we went on out first Meet Up photo shoot. The weather was cool and windy, but we enjoyed the experience.
