Lifelong Learning, Not Academic Imitation
Posted by | Richard Stromberg | August 13, 2009
Academy? Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Well maybe, but not when its not real or backed up with substance. Why settle for someone else's interpretation of the tried and proven curriculum that has provided a solid platform for over 10,000 students over the last five decades?
The curriculum used at Richard Stromberg's Chicago Photography Classes has allowed thousands to continue a journey of lifelong learning. Some have gone on to make some money from their photographs and some have sent their adult children to learn from Richard. In all cases, Laughter Was Heard and Learning Occurred. Richard's classes are imitated but not equaled. You may not like him or you may like him but everyone agrees, Richard and his classes are a Chicago Original.
Chicago's best and original photography community started in the Fall of 1969. Today, Richard Stromberg's Chicago Photography Classes is the continuation of that same program Richard Stromberg and James M Hunt started at Jane Addams Center Hull House. That program was staffed entirely by volunteers for 33 years at the Jane Addams Center and then, until Fall of 2008 also staffed by volunteers for the program Richard founded with others at the Chicago Photography Center.
Presently, Richard continues his program with the same tried and proven principles used to teach digital and film photography. This program is imitated but never equaled and offers the student the best value for the dollar of learning in Chicago. Attend one of Richard's free, 90 minute workshops, held on Sundays starting at High Noon. The only accent here is on learning; attend the workshop and decide for yourself.
