Welcome to this edition of the Night Skye News, the occasional newsletter of Lance Keimig Photographics, and the Night Skye Website. I'm happy to announce several new workshops and photo tours, as well as the second installation of Darkness Darkness.

Upcoming Workshops

Night Photography at NESOP, an 8 week course that begins Monday, June 23.
Starting with the summer session, NESOP will finally accepting credit cards for it's evening workshop program. There's just enough time to squeeze in an 8 session Night Photography class in between my Scotland and Mono Lake programs.

Lovell's Island Night Photography Camp Out, July 18

This unique offering is intended primarily for workshop and photo tour alumni, but is open to anyone with Night Photography experience who would like to spend the night photographing and communing with other Night Photographers. Take the ferry from Long Wharf in Boston on Friday afternoon, camp out, or stay up all night photographing on Lovell's Island, and return Saturday morning or afternoon. Limited to 20 people on a first come first serve basis. $75 plus ferry ticket, or come on your own boat. There will be a follow up evening at my studio to share images from this night out. Supplement the NESOP class with this full moon adventure, or sign up for just the island overnight.

Lance Keimig and Scott Martin co-teach an informative 4 day and night workshop in the Eastern Sierra. This workshop is specifically for digital photographers who want to learn or improve Night Photography techniques, from exposure to image processing and printmaking. Participants will leave this workshop with the knowledge they need to photograph at night by natural and artificial light, and how to process their files and prepare them for printing. Night Photography locations include Mono Lake, Tioga Pass, Bodie Ghost Town, Travertine Hot Springs, or the Burnt Jeffrey Pine Forest. Register online today.

One final note, I'm sad to say that The Pepper Gallery in Boston will be closing at the end of May. I will continue to be represented by Audrey Pepper, who will be working as a private art dealer. Perhaps this will motivate me to finally find representation in New York!

I hope to see you at one of the upcoming workshops, or at one of the Darkness Darkness events. Have a great summer!
