Exploring Your Personal VisionAugust 25 - 29, 2008 Tony Sweet 
We all see things first in our imagination; they don't exist until we hit the shutter. Something catches your eye—you know that something's there, but you may not recognize the picture immediately. So you start looking harder. The whole process up to the point of taking the picture is in your imagination. Hit the shutter and you make it real. Each day during the Workshop, we will meet for a sunrise session (weather permitting) followed by a few hours to rest, process images and hold a critique session. A late afternoon/sunset shooting session will wrap up our day. There will be personal attention given to each participant in the field. Class time during the day will include a presentation, critique session, and digital workflow information. Further presentations, will be on many topics including subject selection, using and managing natural light, glass and digital filters, creative techniques and various compositional techniques. There is one guiding principle: Every single thing in the picture space either helps or hurts the image; there's nothing neutral. Biography After 20 years as a professional jazz artist, Tony Sweet changed careers and directed his creative juices towards nature photography 15 years ago. The improvisational, spontaneous and abstract nature of jazz are also integral elements of nature photography. Tony and his significant other, Susan Milestone (Instructor and professional photographer) conduct Visual Artistry photography workshops throughout the continental United States and Canada. Tony's articles and photography are featured in Shutterbug and Rangefinder magazines and as a contributor to Nikonnet.com. He is a staff writer for Nikon World magazine and maintains an active speaking schedule on the subjects of nature and flower photography and marketing, addressing professional photography organizations, universities, seminars, and workshops in the U.S. and Canada. Today, Tony's work is published worldwide. His images are represented by the Getty Picture Agency. His photographic prints are exhibited at the Nikon Corporate office in NYC, Mercy Medical Center, Johns Hopkins Breast Center and in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. He also has two images on Apple Macintosh computers desktop patterns. Tony is a staff instructor on http://betterphoto.com and is a member of the Baltimore chapter of ASMP. He is honored to be a Nikon Legend Behind the Lens and is a member nikSoftware’s Team Nik.
