The thing I love about these Alumni Friday posts is that I get to reconnect with past students and get a glimpse into each graduates life and photographic journey since leaving RMSP. The process reiterates the fact that no two journeys in photography are the same and should remind us all that with constant work, [...]
Last Friday was the graduation of our 2011 Summer Intensive class. I can personally attest to the amazing amount of growth as both a photographer and person that happens during the eleven weeks. There is something about the people, the intensity of the program and process of learning to better understand photography that also helps [...]
In June we highlighted Deborah Espinosa in an Alumni Friday post. Her photography with an international NGO touched us and we asked her to write more about her experiences for the blog. Enjoy. Always the same answer to the question, “What is it like to photograph for an international NGO (non-governmental organization)?” It is a [...]

Take a look at this timelapse video that our I.T. Specialist Tony Rix created while the assistants transformed an empty basement into a series of functional [...]
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. Her images are stunning and have been featured in publications [...]
Part 2: Homestead National Monument was created by an act of Congress in 1936 “…as an appropriate monument to retain for posterity a proper memorial emblematical of the hardships and the pioneer life through which the early settlers passed in the settlement, cultivation and civilization of the Great West.” Although part of the National Park [...]
During my time at RMSP I realized that simply seeing something different was only part of the artistic journey, that bringing meaning to the vision is an integral part of connecting the viewer to the story of the image. It was with that challenge in mind I decided to apply for one of the artist-in-residence [...]

My wife, Jeanne (who is our School Director), our son Forest, and I had never attended before. Marcy [...]
