The Tartan is a McLean HS student-run media organization that brings literature
and the arts to the McLean community. The "arts" include photography, graphic
arts, drawings, and copies of paintings. Their budget is almost entirely reliant
on generous donations and contributions so that they have the ability to put out

ZEN in the Art of Photography:
A Classic Book Revisited by Photographers

www.zenentry.com

In 1969 Robert Leverant first published the timeless book  Zen in the Art of Photography.

It has become a cult classic and the bible of photography for photographers around
the world.

The book is comprised of 162 ?poetic stanzas? that inspire and nurture readers.

The book has been out of print and in demand for decades and in 2011 Robert Leverant
is publishing an updated version. A multi-media exhibit and catalogue are planned to
celebrate this much-anticipated event.

Since 2009 Robert and three photographers: Jon Butler, Alfredo Marin-Carle and Marius
Jomphe have interpreted 44 of the 162 ?poetic stanzas?. The remaining 118 poetic stanzas
from the book will be open, as a contest, to be interpreted by 118 photographers from
around the world. Both a catalogue and a multi-media exhibit then will be created using
the 162 photographs and ?poetic stanzas? from ?Zen in the Art of Photography?.

Entries will be accepted from photographers, worldwide, until November 30, 2011.

Every entrant receives an autographed copy of Robert Leverant's
'ZEN in the Art of Photography'.

Bill Folsom workshops at Meadowlark

Goto Bill Folsom Workshops to see Bill Folsom classes dealing with
the key elements of photography.  Introductory classes are offered
aimed at be-ginners; those classes provide a very gentle overview of all
aspects of photography in a 1 to 2 hour lecture.  Intermedi-ate classes
help beginners to understand the basics of pho-tography (lighting,
equipment, composition) and are also helpful to those who wish to become
better photographers.  Some of the advanced classes can also be taken by
begin-ners once they have some experience in photography.  Ad-vanced
techniques, such as understanding aperture, shutter speed, and exposure
are useful for those who wish to ad-vance beyond the "point-and-shoot"
style of photography. If the weather cooperates, classes frequently head
outside to photograph in the Gardens for an hour or so after each class.
