Online at www.dpbestflow.org Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow (dpBestflow) Project ASMP
The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) has announced that dpBestflow, the initiative funded by the Library of Congress through its National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program, was launched on November 11th in Washington, D.C. as part of FotoweekDC. In 2007, ASMP was awarded funds by the U. S. Library of Congress through its National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) for the Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow (dpBestflow) project. dpBestflow is the result of two years of extensive research that produced comprehensive resources including the website dpBestflow.org, educational seminars, and the new books, “Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow Handbook” (Anderson/Russotti, Focal Press 2009) and “The DAM Book” (Krogh, O’Reilly Media, 2009). All of these resources will be available to the entire visual arts community. Check it out at www.dpbestflow.org.

7/5-7/15/10 Beijing, China International Center of Photography Travel Program in Beijing International Center of Photography
Explore Chinese culture through your photography. Join Sean Justice for a behind-the-scenes, upclose and personal tour of Beijing, an urban powerhouse and city of many charms. Our host, the Three Shadows Photography Art Center, is a contemporary gallery and research institute devoted to photography as a fine art. We will visit Beijing's art districts, galleries, and studios, enjoy the city's cafés, bookstores, and art-related events, and attend guest lectures by Chinese artists and curators. All the while, we will be using our picture-making skills to engage what we are learning and seeing. The trip includes must-see city highlights and cultural outings to the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Houhai Lake District, Olympic Village, and, of course, a stroll through the Forbidden City, the once exclusive imperial residence and the heart of the empire for 500 years. We will walk through Tiananmen Square, built on the orders of Mao Zedong and perhaps the largest public plaza in the world. Our itinerary includes a day excursion to the 2,000-year-old Great Wall.

The workshop fee is $3000 and includes 10 nights' lodging, welcome and farewell dinners, entrance fees to sites, and internal transportation. The workshop is limited to 12 participants. The single supplement is $700. A nonrefundable $500 deposit is required upon registration. Full payment is due by May 15, 2010.

The workshop will introduce concepts related to semiotics, the encoding and decoding of meaning through single and multiple images, and issues related to sequencing.
