David Salmanowitz participated in the recent Myanmar workshop with Art Wolfe.

“It was a real treat hanging out with Art and Gavriel for our time together in Myanmar. There is always something to be learned from photographers whose work I admire, and this time that was surely the case. Things were learned from what was said, and a lot from just watching how they both would react to a situation. The critiques were invaluable; from a suggested different crop, different angle, … all things to end up with a finer photograph. Seeing Art, Gavriel, and Chris’s (the other participant) work I was given new ideas as to trying some thing I might have not thought of. That said it was also just so much fun all our time together–could not have asked for or gotten more”.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
