Break the electronic shackles of work and set aside some time to focus on your craft. Join us in April for the San Francisco Street Photography Workshop. It's time to get your urban on.

Our headquarters is located in the heart of the city at the Cartwright Hotel. Walk out the door, and the world is ready for your camera. For three days you will live, eat, and breath urban photography with your fellow workshop participants and facilitators Derrick Story and Olympus Visionary Mike Boening. Through classroom instruction and led explorations to visually interesting corners of the city, you will capture a bounty of images.

And if you're interested in mirrorless gear, we will have some of the coolest street photography cameras, lenses, and bags available for your to try.

We begin with an informal reception on Wednesday, April 25 in the historic Cartwright Hotel. You'll have a chance to meet your fellow photographers and learn about the activities that lie ahead. We then get to work first thing Thursday morning, and for the next three days, urban photography is your life. We take care of the details so you can focus on your craft.

We'll travel on foot, by streetcar, and of course cable cars as well. Every moment is a potential photograph. If this sounds like the getaway that you need to reenergize your artistic eye, then sign up today for the event. Group is limited to eight, two instructors, and an entire city just waiting for you.

You can share your thoughts at the TDS Facebook page, where I'll post this story for discussion.
