This class is in its second year of a three-year
program. Please contact Artistic Director Andrea
Wallace for space availability.
CONCEPT: The digital age has given documentary pho-
tographers and photojournalists new ways to tell stories
with greater authorship and control. Our focus is how to
create a personal documentary project and get it seen.
The ultimate goal of this course is to find a subject that
speaks to a personal passion, document it in a unique vi-
sual style, and disseminate the work. We harness new
technologies including iPhones, Instagram, social media
and transmedia to be more effective storytellers.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We learn through presenta-
tions, discussions, critiques and editing of work.
ACTIVITIES: Each morning begins with a presentation
about documentary photography and contemporary
practices. Students participate in editing and review ses-
sions, group reviews of each student’s portfolio/essays,
one-on-one sessions with the instructors to discuss per-
sonal projects, and dialogue about career advice or the
promoting and publishing of work.
FACULTY: Ed Kashi is a photojournalist, filmmaker and
educator whose sensitive eye and an intimate relation-
ship to his subjects are signatures of his work. He is a
member of the VII Photo Agency. Through his photogra-
phy, filmmaking and work as a mentor, teacher and lectur-
er, Ed is a leading voice in the photojournalism and visual
storytelling community. www.edkashi.com
James Estrin is a senior staff photographer for The
New York Times. He is the founder of Lens, The New York
Times’s photography blog, and has been its co-editor since
it launched in 2009. He has worked for The New York
Times since 1987 and was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning
team in 2001. James is a co-producer of the HBO film Un-
der Fire: The Untold Story of Pfc.Tony Vaccaro.
some of the most scenic locales in the Rocky Mountains.
Students visit locations near Aspen and Snowmass
with mountain views, sparkling streams, a multitude of
wildflowers, and 100-year-old artifacts from the area’s
storied bygone mining days. This photographer’s dream
tour reveals a variety of eye-catching possibilities that
can be revisited later with in-depth visual exploration.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We cover digital cameras and
discuss camera techniques for aesthetic and technical
application in the field. We cover HDR photography, high
dynamic range and panoramic photography.
ACTIVITIES: We learn about the historic and scenic
significance of each location. Stu dents work one-on-one
with the instructor throughout the day to improve their
photography. We spend at least one hour at each site,
with driving and hiking times kept to a minimum.
FACULTY: Conor King received his M.F.A. from Pratt
Institute. He has been a member of the art faculty at
several colleges and universities since 2009, including
the University of Colorado. He has shown his work
nationally and internationally, has been a resident artist at
RedLine Denver, and served on the board at the Colorado
Photographic Arts Center, where he also assisted with
exhibition development. Conor is a founding member of
Tank Studios, where his studio is currently located.

Joshua Davis
Dive into the possibilities of the computer’s
extraordinary feats in our digital age. This course is ideal
for students looking to expand their control animations
and processing skills, and those wanting to use a camera
as the input source. We work with Sublime Text 3 to
edit code and HYPE Framework. Throughout the week,
we explore efficient production techniques with a final
project of a real-time, camera-driven animation.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students use Sublime Text 3,
a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose.
We also use HYPE Framework, a collection of classes
that performs heavy lifting tasks while using a minimal
amount of code writing.
ACTIVITIES: We work with OpenCV for Processing to
bring a physical camera input of interaction in order to
allow for control of objects on screen using processing.
The instructor presents multiple methods to speed
up production, and students participate in hands-on
exercises and receive extensive one-on-one help. Our
final project is a real-time, camera-driven animation.
FACULTY: Joshua Davis is an award-winning designer,
technologist, author and artist in new media, and is
acclaimed for his role in designing the visualization of
IBM’s Watson, the intelligent computer program capable
of answering questions, for the quiz show Jeopardy. His
work has been exhibited at the Tate Modern in London,
the Design Museum in London, le Centre Pompidou in
France, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London,
PS.1 MoMA in New York, the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian
Design Museum and more.
