(You may sign up for the Portfolios workshop to observe, but it is encouraged that those attending also submit a portfolio. Although you have entered a portfolio, it
may not be reviewed because of time constraints. Portfolios will be chosen in advance of the workshop on the
basis of how instructional they will be, not necessarily on
the excellence of the photography.
In each of the two workshop sessions, we will select
from portfolios submitted by you, the participant, to provide feedback on what is working well and what can be
improved.The critiques will focus on how the images
work together to create something where the "whole is
greater than the sum of its parts,"rather than on the
technical quality of individual images, as this is what distinguished a Portfolio Competition from
other competitions.
If you desire to participate, you should sign up for one of the two workshop sessions and submit a
sequence of between 7
and 10 images. It is recommended you also attend the Portfolio Break-out Session. Please download
and read a detailed description of how to create and submit a portfolio to the workshop from

For the purposes of the FotoClave conference, you need only follow the instructions for submitting 7
- 10 images in an order
that makes sense graphically and provides a logical sequence., Please be sure to read the
instructions on how to submit your images through the website. For the workshop, the first four
sections of the information sheet are relevant. When you are ready
to upload your images, go to: [

Jeff Dunn - BIOGRAPHY
Born in Hollywood, CA, I came from a family of artists, musicians, and actors. Although beginning my studies in music, I decided to pursue a career related to my
love for the outdoors, i.e., geology. During the summers of the eight years I spent in
graduate school earning an M.S. in Geosciences and a Ph.D. in Geologic Education, I
was a Naturalist with the National Park Service in Grand Teton National Park,WY.
It was during those years that I developed an ardent affection for outdoor photography. Career moves since brought me away from the oil business in Texas to IT
programming and project management in NewYork, North Carolina, and California.
I have been a professional music critic for the last ten years, writing for San Francisco Classical Voice (www.sfcv.org). I began my interest in graphic arts in 2007, when I
became one of the few music critics ever to illustrate my own reviews, focusing on
ironic commentary via photocollage. I have written several books or articles including:
• “Big, Bad, Beautiful: Death Valley;” Music Memory Publishers
• Numerous illustrations for online and print journals in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially San Francisco
• “Titles are Worth Thinking About,” for the PSA Journal.
