September 5, 2007

Dear Reader,

Because you indicated your interest in workshops, you're receiving this special issue of Insights, an advance notice of a unique workshop event.

This special issue of Insights announces a the second date for a new workshop I'm teaching with R Mac Holbert, the master printer at Nash Editions. Mac and I have discussed teaching together for some time now. When this opportunity suddenly presented itself we were excited to do it. It's a unique workshop experience unlike any other.

Related Techniques posted with the last announcement are also noted here once again, for the benefit of new subscribers or those who didn't access them last time.

Also highlighted once again are the conversation Mac and I had for Camera Arts magazine and my Review of his new book - Nash Editions: Photography and the Art of Digital Printing.

This is not a regular issue of Insights. The new issue with all new content will be broadcast on Sunday September 9.

Best wishes,

John Paul
