Newsletter from David H. Wells Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Greetings from chilly Rhode Island! Spring cannot come soon enough. Thankfully, I will be away part of the winter teaching and photographing in warmer places.
I am just coming off five fascinating months in South Asia on my second Fulbright fellowship comparing the impact of globalization in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In Bangladesh especially, the assistance I had from local photojournalists was indescribably valuable. As I had hoped, they helped me understand the continually evolving experience of contemporary Bangladeshis as they encounter and adapt to globalization. Now that the fun part (the photography) is done, I am starting to work my way through the very complex process of figuring out exactly how to interpret, conceptually frame and ultimately present what I actually found and photographed.
Although I was not one of the "early adapters" of digital photography, I have caught up quickly and I am now fully proficient. I have also started teaching classes with digital components. I was invited to be one of a select few photographers contributing chapters to a pending book about digital photography titled "Camera Raw Studio Skills." The book is being edited by Charlotte Lowrie, and published by John Wiley & Sons. It will be on store shelves this summer.
I have become affiliated with the maker of the software I-View Media Pro, a great image browsing software. I do some software training and demonstrating of their software. See more on this at: http://www.davidhwells.com/PublishedWork/Workshops/Resources/0.htm
Speaking of affiliations, I am also now also working with Richard Rabinowitz of R2/Rainmaker Marketing Services. Richard will be serving as a catalyst between print, broadcast and interactive media on one side and wholesalers/resellers in the photography industry on the other. You can see more about that starting at my page on the site at: To See My Listing Click Here
I am thrilled to tell you that I have a photo in the March 2006 edition of the National Geographic magazine.
Finally, I am continuing my workshop teaching. Exciting workshops in places as varied as Santa Fe, Italy, Maine, Guatemala and Montana are coming up. If you know anyone interested in taking a class, direct them to: http://www.davidhwells.com/PublishedWork/Workshops/FutureClasses/0.htm
I am continuing my other ongoing projects, most notably my recent work on Quahoggers, Rhode Island's clam diggers. When that work is ready to show, along with the newest work from India, I will update you.
Until then, thanks for reading this and I do hope you will pass the information on to anyone else who might find it of interest.
Regards, -- David H. Wells David@DavidHWells.com
