VASA: The Italy Workshop
Easter Week, April 1 - 8 2012, Riola, Sardinia Italy
The Workshop: The Art of Seeing and the Rites of Holy Week
The Sardinia photography workshop will be an opportunity for students to experience the Rites of Holy Week: rituals, 
festivals, and local events. The workshop will start with an intensly focused photography workshop, The Art of Seeing, with Patrick Keough, designed to enhance and expand your your way of seeing. Together with the rituals surrounding Holy Week, the 7 day experience promises to be an rewarding and visual experience.
The Art of Seeing workshop will include daily formal photography instruction geared specifically to each photographer’s skill level, in addition to personal time to meander along the beautiful countryside and visit the local villages. There will also be excursions
to a majestic waterfall, salt lakes with flamingos, ancient castles, a 3000 year old stone tower and a Byzantine church. A primary focus of the workshop will be photographing the Easter celebrations, rituals and choir processions in and around the villages of Sardinia.
Most evenings after local activiites there will be a critique session and discussion about the day's activites.
Internet will be provided. Students need to bring their laptop, memory stick, and plus adaptor for Europe (if you come from outside Europe)
