<em>City-of-Light by Harold Davis</em><br>

I just learned the Paris workshop dates of photo.net member and writing contributor (as well as one heck of a fantastic book author), Harold Davis. I've known Harold professionally for years and he's one of the most amazing instructors I've had the pleasure to know and learn from. I wanted to pass along his workshop info should any of you find yourselves drawn to Paris for this special event.<br>

<br /><strong>About the workshop:</strong></p>

<p >Photography begins with the medium of light, which the artist captures and applies to the canvas in endlessly surprising ways. And what better place to explore this medium than Paris, the City of Light?</p>

<p >Join acclaimed photographer Harold Davis for the experience of a lifetime in Paris, the birthplace of photography. There you’ll have the opportunity to experience firsthand the places and sights that have inspired artists for centuries.</p>

<p >We’ll focus our lenses on Paris in bloom, Paris at night, and Paris in black & white, reinterpreting for ourselves some of the images that have been captured in paint and on film by many great artists, including Daguerre, Monet, Atget, Picasso, and Erwitt. We’ll have a grand time photographing and we’ll return home with many priceless shots to treasure!</p>

<p >Highlights of the workshop include a number of excursions, including exclusive after-hours access to Monet's famous garden at Giverny.</p>

<p >The workshop is based at the famous and elegant Hotel Lutetia, a four-star hotel with an artistic past that is incredibly situated in the heart of left-bank Paris.</p>

<p ><strong>What a few 2013 participants have said:</strong><br /></p>

<p >"Had an awesome time with Harold, Mark, and the workshop participants. Itching to go back. If you’re a photographer, Paris at night is a 'Must Do!' Put it on your bucket list `cause you may not see this in Heaven."<br /><br /></p>

<p >"Photographing Paris at night in the company of a group of fellow photographers had instant appeal. Inspired by the scenes of Brassai, I imagined myself at the top of the steps at Montmartre, taking wonderful black-and-white images. I already admired Harold Davis, and had confidence that he would lead us to fantastic places - and he did! What came as a delightful surprise was the level of talent and variety of approaches that my fellow travelers employed to capture the marvelous churches, gardens, and people of Paris, Giverny, and Fontainebleau. I learned from every one of them. And what an agreeable group of travel companions they were! A once-in-a-lifetime experience that I plan to repeat next spring!"</p>
