Richard Renaldi has been teaching a workshop in large format portraiture at ICP the past three summers, and it’s looking like a really good investment of time (and, I presume, money) if you have the opportunity. Renaldi is, of course, an excellent portraitist himself. I especially like Touching Strangers.

colinkloecker: thedependentclause: Seriously considering doing Bank Transfer Day. I’ve been thinking about switching to a credit union for a while anyway. Really wish they weren’t using that stupid Guy Fawkes mask, though. (H/T Shanai for the graphic) To everybody who’s been thinking about a switch to credit unions: stop thinking and just do it. Seriously: research your local credit union options, open an account with the one that best suits your needs, cancel all automatic withdrawals & deposits, transfer your funds to the new account, follow your bank’s procedures to close your account before 11/05. Boom. (It’s been almost two years since Shanai and I made the switch!)
