"Night News" - an occasional missive from the darkness Vol.11 No.3
"Fortunately, art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a spiritualized world, endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh." - Allen Ginsberg _______________________________ Alumni of The Nocturnes, A few quick items of note here: You can still register for The Advanced Digital Nocturne seminar with Mark Jaremko and Tim Baskerville, held at Fort Mason on September 26, 2009. All the details are at http://www.thenocturnes.com/workshops/advanced.html. This seminar is highly recommended for anyone who has taken a previous (either introductory or intermediate) Workshop with The Nocturnes, and who find themselves either making the transition to Digital from film-based NPy, or (if already using digital) just want to ‘sharpen up’ their field capture and post-processing skills
