I have nothing to do with the workshops but this just hit my inbox.
"If you long for the creative ambience of classic black-and-white film and the traditional darkroom, this workshop is an opportunity to liberate your photographs from what Richard Avedon called the tyranny of technology. We spend the week making black-and-white portraits, working with the alchemy of light on film. Through the hands-on magic of the darkroom, we then transform our images into the unmistakably sensuous format of silver-gelatin prints. Nothing can match the mystery of bringing the captive light on film into the darkroom, watching the images slowly emerge in the developing tray, and choosing the exact moment to stop the process for maximum impact.
For a week, we immerse ourselves in the tactile, sensory, and organic process of film and the traditional darkroom. Working with 35mm or medium format, we spend the first two days photographing in the amazing light of Santa Fe, revealing the character of our subjects in black and white without the distraction of color. We develop our own film and make contact sheets and final prints on RC paper. Daily reviews of the previous days work encourage participants to articulate their unique interpretations of a portrait on paper. We experience how the contact sheet serves as a memory trigger, bringing back with full clarity the thoughts, feelings, and visual gifts of the day."
