Throughout the years, Freestyle has supported photography events in and around Southern California, and other assorted places around the United States as well. Now that the Internet has made Freestyle's audience a truly global one, we think it only appropriate to assemble a list of some of the premier photography-related events, contests and shows from around the world. Browse the selections below, and you'll encounter happenings in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand...and maybe even your own back yard!
We encourage you to spend a few moments to see what events are taking place that might benefit you, and to send us word of events that we might not know about. If you know of a photography related event that you think others might be interested in, feel free to send us an email.
We can't promise that we'll be able to list every event of course, but we always appreciate the feedback, because it tells us that you-our customers-are as enthusiastic about photography as we are. Enjoy!

Instructor: Tom Persinger
http://www.f295.org/site/?page_id=575
In this exciting two day workshop we'll use the most readily available materials to create fully functional large format cameras (which use modern film holders) and lenses. We'll use inexpensive lithography film and a special developer to make large negatives that have a full tonal range but cost a fraction of the price of conventional 8 x 10" film. Armed with these simple tools we'll explore their use in the field.
No experience necessary.
Class is limited to six participants.
Location: F295 Studio, Pittsburgh PA
Date: March 20-21, 2010 (Sat, Sun)
Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm (with break for lunch)

March 14, 2010 - March 23, 2010 | Cuba 2010 |
"It is my belief that sometime in the early part of the new administration travel restrictions to Cuba will be relaxed, if not altogether removed. I feel this will occur no later than August, perhaps sooner. I am not the only one who feels this way, please read Focus on Cuba, an MSNBC report written by Andrea Mitchell, Chief foreign affairs correspondent for NBC News.
After the island is officially opened it will be possible to travel there anytime. But if you want to be among the first to photograph the old Cuba before the new Cuba of McDonald and Wal-Mart emerges, you will want to join me."
– Steve Anchell
Agustin [2001]
From 2001 until 2004 Steve led photography workshops to Cuba with an educational license provided by the U.S. Treasury Department. You may see some of his photographs in his Cuba portfolio (many of these images are in the collection of the President Carter Library in Atlanta).
Steve has extensive connections in Cuba and knows his way around...

March 07, 2010 - March 28, 2010 | Lith Printing and Toning Workshop |
Instructor: Francesca di Leo
Dates/Times: MARCH 7th, 14th, 21th, & 28th 2010
Sundays 11am-3:00pm (14hrs total)
Workshop Fee: $225 + $160 lab fee
Enrollment Limit: 10
Lith printing is a process that uses a lithographic two part developer in a very dilute solution to obtain color and texture from a black and white paper. Different papers have different qualities in Lith printing, ranging in color from warm sepias to salmon and even olive tones. Other papers have very little color shift, achieving beautiful textures instead, giving the print a texturally graphic quality.
In this four week workshop, students will explore the world of Lith printing and a whole new way to express themselves artistically. Attendees will learn how to "expose for the highlights and develop for the shadows", which is the basic principle in Lith printing. All students who attend this class should have a basic knowledge of traditional black in white printing.

| see details for dates | Photographer's Formulary Workshops |
Photographer's Formulary has always been a steadfast champion of traditional and alternative photographic processes. Freestyle has proudly carried their products for many, many years, and we are equally happy to spotlight their wonderfully in-depth and intense photographic workshops. Hosted in the unmatched splendor of the Montana Rockies, the workshops cover a wide range of subjects, including Kallitype, Van Dyke, Platinum & Palladium, Lith Printing, Collodion, Carbro Printing, Bromoil, and even the classic Daguerrotype! The workshops are also taught by some of the world's foremost authorities on alternative processes, including Freestyle Advisory Board Member Dr. Tim Rudman. We challenge you to find another group of workshops so dedicated and all-encompassing as Formulary's...and quite frankly, we doubt you'll succeed.
The workshops take place over several dates through the summer and autumn of 2007. For information about specific subjects, instructors, and alternative processes in general, visit more information...

| see details for dates | A Healing Workshop for Women Living with Cancer |
"Let the wind of change blow by. Leave me a little bit frayed and tattered, but keep me tethered to the truth, aware of the direction from which my own life will evolve." - Wendy
The Retreats, located in the historic and elegant coastal F. Holland Day House “chalet”, are an opportunity for women with breast or other cancer or life threatening illness to mobilize their natural powers of healing through creativity. There are daily photographic assignments combined with the coaching of Dr. Matthew Budd, a 20 year professor at Harvard Medical School and author of the book You Are What You Say.
At the workshops, we engage in creative activity through word, image making, movement, and even prayer (a special form of poetry). In so doing we witness our hesitancy to be artists, our fears of the unknown, our embarrassment, but we also experience being on the cutting edge of the moment... standing in the present and creating the next moment. Our poems, essays, and photographs are the artifacts of our creati...
