In terms of our alumni, it is always rewarding to see our graduates hit the ground running building their businesses and getting work almost immediately after leaving RMSP. Karen Dressel is one such an example. A 2011 graduate of our Career Training program, her drive and determination is beginning to make her a force to [...]
I know. I know. The last thing any of you (or myself for that matter) want to hear about is another social media-type site. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc., etc. are all truly wonderful methods of talking to people, sharing ideas and knowledge and are generally fun to be involved with, but can sometimes feel overwhelming.

We can tell when we have a winner of an assignment usually by the volume of submissions we receive in response. December’s assignment, Patterns, is a great example. Since identifying and interpreting patterns in the human brain is as creative a process as taking a photograph, the result of the work submitted is a broad, [...]
With this month’s assignment being to capture the skies in their environment, our readers rose to the challenge by submitting a great variety of images showcasing their interpretation of this theme. The result is another great collection of work from around the country. Thanks to everyone for their submissions, and we hope you enjoy them [...]

So, as we’ve been bragging about all week (and are quite excited about), our school patriarch and founder, Neil Chaput de Saintonge, had at one time studied with Ansel Adams in the early 70s. In light of this fact, and tonight’s opening of the exhibit “Ansel Adams: A Legacy“ at the Missoula Art Museum, I [...]
This month’s assignment involves this bittersweet time of year when summer comes to a close and the kids head “Back to School.” This may seem like more of a documentary assignment, but not necessarily. How would you depict the activity of getting the kids prepared and ready to dive right back into their learning environments? [...]
This month’s assignment asked the photographer to depict reflections – or the act of reflecting – with their images. It seems this assignment really struck a chord with our creative readers. Since the word itself can mean many things, our readers interpreted its meaning in many interesting ways. So much so, this assignment broke a [...]
The whole vernacular of Twitter – tweet, tweeting, tweeted, etc. – denotes some kind of bird language gone suddenly viral. What the heck is Twitter? Why use it? What has it contributed to society at large? How can it help with connecting, inspiring or even doing business? As a primer, here is a great introduction [...]
Jami Saunders attended the Summer Intensive program in 2003. She was the type of student whose creativity and perspective inspired her fellow students and the staff. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York and photographs people. This includes weddings, kids, families, fashion, travel and more.
