Richard has been teaching this class only twice a year for more than 15 years. The flexibility of this class allows for instruction and assignments to be tailored for each student's individual needs and level of experience.
The Close-Up class will take four or five hours of your time, each week, for five weeks. This includes two hours of lecture/class time, and two to three hours for planning and shooting your assignments. Each class will have a lecture by the instructor with a relevant shooting assignment for the next class. Shooting assignments may be completed at any location.
At the first class, Richard will demonstrate that it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to enjoy Close-Up Photography. He will show the different equipment available, ranging in price from $50 to almost $1,000 for a dedicated lens.
But don't worry, Richard will help you decide which reasonably priced option you should use:

Starting with the second class, there will be group critiques of each student's assignment
For the fourth class, we will have a hands-on shooting workshop on location at the Chicago Park District's Garfield Park Conservatory. Note that the fourth class will meet at the usual time (Saturday April 17- 2:00pm to 4:00pm) at this location.
The fifth class will include a review and critique of the photographs taken at the Conservatory. (If you’re unclear about any of this, call or text Richard on his cell phone, 312-671-7717).
Students need to bring their camera and a notepad to class every week. You may use either a digital camera (DSLR) or a 35mm film camera (SLR). You are required to expose not less than 48 images with a digital camera. If you are using film, you must shoot one 36-exposure roll of slide film each week and have it processed in time for the next week's critique.
