Picture of the Month — June 2010

Barton Springs Pool, Austin
Image #13215

There is so much to like in this picture. The juxtaposition of the adults in the water, doing what adults do, apparently calm, adjusting their goggles and taking a break, with the dancing child off to the left - completely uninhibited and full of joy. His captured moment reminds me of what we all should feel like at least once a day. I also like the way the lines work, drawing us down from the bottom right hand corner up through the center of the image...

The Tahiti Photography Workshop

Jesse, along with award winning commercial photographer Roger Paperno, will be leading photo expeditions in Tahiti in conjunction with a 7-day and 10-day cruise aboard Paul Gauguin cruises. It will be a fabulous week filled with breathtaking landscapes and marvelous photo opportunities. Jesse has led photo expeditions from Alaska to Europe and is on the faculty at the Maine Media Workshops. To learn more and to sign up, visit our Tahiti Workshop page.

Jesse On Location

You asked and we've now posted pictures of Jesse on location, from Alaska's Inside Passage to the streets of Barcelona. You can see him with his family and in action on our "On Location" page.

This Email Made Our Day!

"I must say that your podcast on iTunes was the most inspiring among all of the photography lessons I have seen on the net. I loved how you went beyond aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. You taught me things that I am sure will change the way I take pictures from now on. I really hope you will keep adding more episodes to your podcast. Thought I at least drop this thank you letter."

Richmond

"First, let me say a huge thank you to Claude Harrison, not only for bringing me to Richmond, but for shepherding Helen, the kids and me around this wonderful city. I had a great time and couldn't set my camera down for all the terrific things to photograph. One day, in a future life, I'll lead a photo expedition/workshop in Richmond. It'll be like the proverbial shooting fish in a barrel." Claude Harrison of Williams Mullen - an outstanding law firm that clearly has great taste in art - commissioned Jesse to take pictures of Richmond last month. The images now grace the walls of the new Williams Mullen offices.
