Renowned Photographers Join the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico October ? November 2008

(Vocus) July 17, 2008 -- In the fall of 2008, the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops presents its eigth annual series of one-week photography workshops in the historic Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende. Veteran Santa Fe Workshops instructors lead 10 workshops in personal vision, figure study, documentary story telling, travel photography, and portraiture, along with workshops exploring Mexican culture and heritage.

San Miguel is one of Mexico?s most charming colonial towns, with narrow, serpentine, cobblestone streets that wind through sixteenth- and seventeenth-century stone buildings. Rich in culture, heritage, holidays, and fiestas, San Miguel is a National Historic Landmark. It has long been a center for the arts and home to an international community of artists, writers, and sculptors. San Miguel has the feel of a small European city and its people are friendly and warm.
