WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE 2010-2011 JOHN SEXTON PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS

2010 marks the 20th year of the John Sexton Photography Workshops program. We are pleased to be offering a selection of excellent workshops for 2010 and early 2011.

Of special interest in this year's offerings will be two new workshops, which John will be teaching with his long-time friend, and talented photographer, Charles Cramer. John and Charlie will be offering "The Luminous Print: A Synthesis of Traditional and Digital" from March 22 through 27, 2010 at John's home and studio in Carmel Valley. The duo will also offer "Mono Lake and the Eastern Sierra: Exploring Autumn Light" from October 10 through 15, 2010 based in Lee Vining, California, adjacent to Mono Lake. This will be a field oriented workshop.

Three identical sessions of John's legendary "The Expressive Black and White Print" workshop will be offered in 2010 through early 2011. This is the 27th consecutive year that this most successful workshop has been offered. "Fine Tuning the Expressive Print" workshop is back again by popular demand for its twenty-fifth offering.

UPCOMING EVENTS

JOHN’S RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION AT CENTER FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC ART
OPENING AND LECTURE JULY 10

I am pleased to announce that my traveling retrospective exhibitionJohn Sexton: A Photographer’s Journeywill be on display at the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, California from July 3 through August 27, 2010. The last time I had a large exhibition of my work in my own “backyard” was my exhibition at the Monterey Museum of Art in 1994. I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to share images with my many photographic friends and neighbors here on the Monterey Peninsula. If your travel plans will bring you to this area, I hope you’ll take the opportunity to come by and see the exhibition.

On Saturday, July 10, I will be presenting a lecture and book signing from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, which will be followed by an opening reception in the gallery from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Both events are free and open to the public. This lecture will be different from the Adobe presentation described above, as the talk will focus on my own photographs. Included in the exhibition and presentation will be some new images, as well as earlier photographs from my more than thirty-five year career in photography. During the lecture I will illustrate the evolutionary process of some of the images from the negative to the finished print, exploring a number of the creative controls I use in making my silver gelatin photographs. In addition, I will show some unique Ansel Adams images and discuss his influence on my photography. A book signing will be held following the lecture.

A portion of this exhibition was on display at Oregon State University in 2009. The exhibition will be traveling to other venues in the future, and announcements will be made in future issues of my newsletter.

I would like to thank Light Impressions, as well as Kodak Professional, for their support of this traveling exhibition, and Freestyle Photographic Supplies for their most generous support as the exclusive sponsor of exhibitions at the Center for Photographic Art.

You can learn about the exhibition, opening reception, and lecture here. For more information about the Center for Photographic Art and their many programs check out their web site. I look forward to seeing a number of you on July 10.

In the meantime, Wynn Bullock: Color Light Abstractions is the next show up at the CPA. It will be on display from May 15 to June 26. On Saturday May 15, there will be a panel discussion, Wynn Bullock: A Visionary Photographer Revisited, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, followed by a reception from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Panelists will include A.D. Coleman, Richard Gadd, Chris Johnson, Dr. Britt Salvesen, and Karen Sinsheimer.

ANSEL ADAMS GALLERY TO EXHIBIT JOHN’S WORK RECEPTION AND LECTURE AUGUST 21

Speaking of exhibitions... I’m looking forward to my upcoming exhibition at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite National Park, which will be on display from August 18 to September 26, 2010. This exhibition will have an opening reception on Saturday, August 21 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. I will also be presenting a lecture at the Yosemite Lodge Amphitheater at 8:30 pm that evening. If you’re looking for an excuse to come to beautiful Yosemite, it would be great to see you there. You can find additional information at the Ansel Adams Gallery web site.

I have been represented by the Ansel Adams Gallery since 1980, and have been fortunate to have had a number of exhibitions at the Gallery over the past thirty years. I am very pleased to have another opportunity to share my photographs at the Gallery, located in one of my very favorite places... Yosemite Valley.
