Career Development Grant

My goal is to successfully complete the Documentary Photography course at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana. This is a week long, professional level program taught by a highly acclaimed photojournalist. Completion of the course will expand my knowledge of this style of photography. I intend to continue publicly showing my work, publishing and building my portfolio. Objectives in the class include studying historically important documentary work, formulating and completing our own class project, critiquing work and discussing the challenges of building a successful career in this style of photography. The Panasonic LX100 compact camera is a top level photography tool. I will use this camera during races, back-country trips and other times when I need to make professional level images, but do not have the space to carry my larger camera kit. My work in this program will be evaluated by the lead instructor, other faculty, by peers in the class, and of course by me. This is a rigorous program and I look forward to the challenge of meeting the goals of the course work. My goal is to take what I have learned from this course and apply it to my projects that I am currently working on.
