Jay Dusard’s 2010 Photo Workshops
Our November 2009 issue includes my feature article, “Desert Bloom,” about Arizona’s 47 Ranch. Jay Dusard was the natural choice to photograph the story. In addition to being one of the most gifted photographers to ever come out of the West, Jay happens to live near the 47, and cowboys there on occasion.
Jay’s exhibition The Cowboy West is on display at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport (Main Gallery, Terminal 4) through November 30. He also has planned a great lineup of photography workshops:
* Landscape and the Scope of the Land, November 7-8, The Amerind Foundation, Dragoon, Arizona; to learn more, call (520) 586-3666.
* Cowboys Through the Lens: You Can’t Fake It (with Kurt Markus), January 26-27, 2010, National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, Elko, Nevada; (775) 738-7508
