I'm happy to report that the second, and final, Barcelona workshop was incredibly fun and very successful.
I want to acknowledge all of the students/participants; they did an outstanding job and moreover, had a lot of fun! Pablo, Paula, Lola, Nuria, Laia, Fin Arne, Bernt, Jessica, Rado, Manel, Alex, and everyone from the studio and all of the visitors. Over the two workshops, we had the following countries represented; Spain, Germany, America, Bulgaria, Italy, and Norway. Amazing!!!
I didn't get a chance to make copies of the work (only one or two images) but will post more when I get images from the Studio.
Between the workshops, I met with a Spanish newspaper (I'm not even sure which one) and did an interview. I also got to work with the Studio and make a few 16x20 plates (BGAs, CGAs, Alumitypes and Negs) of the view from the studio and the Botero Gato on la Rambla - it's Botero's sculpture of a cat. This is 200 meters from the Studio and will always represent Barcelona for me. We brought a 16x20 negative home that the Studio made of Jeanne, Summer and I (I was holding the 16x20 BGA of the Cat). I'll try to get a print (or scan) made of it and post it - it's a wonderful image.
We hope you enjoy!

Over the two workshops, there were a lot of plates made (maybe 100?) the racks were always full of images.
