On July 10th we're going to push the envelope on the DiMaggio/Kalish Learning Center. We're going to have a small elite group of photographers who are going to get special access to the great Bobby Kyle Blues Band. Each member of the workshop will be responsible to supply one photograph for use in Bobby's new CD cover (inside and back), and his webpage. Any body who has ever photographed music knows the famous phrase, "back stage passes." In this case, you will have an unprecedented back stage pass for rehearsal and the concerts with Bobby and the band. They will also make themselves available in the late afternoon for environmental portraits. This is not only going to be fun, exciting, and hopefully result in some dynamic photos, but to the best of my knowledge I don't think it's ever been done before. This highly specialized project will be sponsored by Sigma. They will be supplying fast long lenses, and fast wide angles. Last but not least, I have a funny feeling there may be some other surprises that day.
