In memory of my brother, Alex and I are offering two DAVID HAL NORRIS scholarships for our upcoming workshop at the Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City, South Dakota, the first weekend in October.  These two tuition-free scholarships are available to any high school or college student with a passion for photography.  To apply, just email 10 small jogs (10 inches on longest side, 72 dpi) and a short statement about why you’d like to take the workshop (not more than 150 words) to me by Monday, October 1st. My email: rebeccanorriswebb@yahoo.com. A third scholarship is being offered for a BHSU student by the Black Hills State Photography Department. Stay tuned for application details about this third tuition-free scholarship.—Rebecca Norris Webb

A workshop for serious amateurs and professionals alike, it will taught by Alex and Rebecca, a creative team who often edit projects and books together –– including their joint book and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, exhibition, “Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba,” Alex’s recent Aperture book, “The Suffering of Light,” and Rebecca’s new Radius book, “My Dakota.” Included in the workshop will be an editing exercise as well as an optional photography assignment and long-term project review.  For more information –– including how to enroll and daily schedule –– please contact Maja at the Robert Klein Gallery: maja@robertkleingallery.com
