Doug,

That's a nice long list.

I'm no expert but I'd be willing to do/help with the following:

Matting/framing. My thoughts are to do an overview of framing, rather than one particular type. This would include the range from stock (WalMart, etc) frames to custom frames. Low end framing (no matte no glass) to high end (multiple mattes, special glass) as well as build-your-own and reusing existing frames. I haven't done a lot of framing but have made my own, cut glass, cut mattes, and made use of used frames. I also have a large range of frames from yard sales, Goodwill, 99C store, and such.

Table-top. Art is the expert, and I missed his last workshop) but I've made my own light tents and done some table-top photography.

Basic Photography. My thoughts are to start with the camera on Auto and work on techniques, skills, and composition. I wrote a class on basic photography but I also like what I saw in the "Idiot's Guide to Digital Photography."

I would also like to do/help in putting on a "beginner's" post-processing workshop. My thoughts are to start with the basics (with whatever software the person has) such as straightening, cropping, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, and such. Then move into some of the more complex (for beginners) adjustments such as levels, curves, and such.

A couple more ideas for your list of possible workshops are photojournalism, architecture, and street photography.

Glenn:

That would be great. I like the emphasis on beginners and low tech and cost. My view this fun should be a low entry point. I will be putting together shortly a list of workshops for leadership and presenting them for approval.

Thanks...
