Would you like a WS representative come to your classroom? Katherine Edison and Amy Essick are serving as our Education Outreach representatives. They have visited several Monterey County schools this year bringing along the Weston Scholarship Winner Portfolio (Past Winners)as an example of the work that has placed in the competition. They offer guidance and encouragement to the students so they can be prepared to submit their portfolios to the scholarship contest and for future college portfolio reviews.Contact Gina Weston to schedule a WS representative to visit your classroom. Private consultations are also available.

Soquel High School Photography Class Visits Edward Weston's Home

Today David Casterson brought his Soquel High photography class to our home to see Edward Weston's old darkroom, his photographs, Kim's photographs and Kim's painted photographs. This is the 3rd year that David has visited us at Wildcat Hill. He then takes his students to Point Lobos where they have lunch and get to photograph in the park for the afternoon. What a fun day!

Weston Scholarship - Save the date! Wednesday, May 5, 2010:
7th Annual Weston Scholarship Exhibition and Award Ceremony, 6-7pm; Marjorie Evans Gallery; Sunset Cultural Center Carmel, CA 8th and San Carlos St.

New! Stay tuned for our Fine Print Program!  Three 1st place winners have each graciously donated one photograph to the Weston Scholarship for sale to help raise money for the Weston Scholarship. In return they get a tutorial with Kim on printing, mounting and spotting. Kim has already printed with 2 students. He was busy this last weekend. I will keep you posted on how you can help by purchasing a Weston Scholarship photograph.
 
Thank you! Freestyle Photographic Supplies
Freestyle Photographic has generously donated supplies to our local King City High School Photography Program so they could finish out their 2nd semester. Their funds had been cut and their supplies depleted. So when Weston Scholarship approached Patrick DelliBovi to ask for a partial donation, Patrick graciously donated the full amount to them. Thank you Freestyle for such a generous donation. And thank you for getting out our orders correctly and promptly. We never have to worry about ordering supplies from you because it always comes in perfect condition and we get it right away!
