Workshop Stories: changed through photography
Edited by Elizabeth Opalenik

Stories guide us and stories define us. Workshop Stories are glimpses into the magic of the photography workshop experience. Sharing the images and words of over 100 photography teachers and workshop leaders, this book captures the possibilities of growth, community, and photography in the world while sharing the legacy of numerous workshop programs starting in the 1960s through today. Inspiring images and stories gathered by Elizabeth Opalenik create a thoughtful book and a road map to our community’s future.
