I’m so stoked. I just signed up for a documentary photography workshop in May, with Donald Weber. He’s originally from Toronto, but now lives in Russia, photographing all kinds of people. The workshop is offered in conjunction with an exhibition of his work during the Contact Festival.

I’ve been searching for a good documentary photography class for ages, but they’re either in the wrong place, at the wrong time, or for a price I can’t afford (especially when it’s all of the above). But this one’s perfect. Two full Saturdays, one after the other, with a shooting assignment in between, and a portfolio and assignment review on the second day. On top of all that, I really like Weber’s work, especially “ZEK. In the Prisons of the East.”

I can’t wait.
