I’m teaching a video course in Junction, Texas.
That’s right, an HD video/documentary course, in Junction, Texas, Texas Tech University satellite campus, May 12 – May 27. If you are frequent readers, you know I’m a photography instructor (of sorts) at Texas Tech University, and for five years now, I have been teaching a field photography course with Wyman Meinzer at the Junction, Texas, campus. This year, we’ve decided to test out a new course in high-definition video. I’m basing it off of the foundations of the photography course, which is “get your feet wet working like a professional.” For 15 days, students and instructors alike work tirelessly, pursuing the story of the land and the people on it. Each year is a treat, finding ourselves with a new bunch of students and some familiar and veteran areas of the state to point our lenses. We travel well over 1,000 miles during our 15 days, and we see a lot of country. If the video/documentary course turns out anything like the photography course, and it should (we’re going along with them), then it’s bound to be a challenging, yet inspiring, experience for all parties involved.
If there’s anything that can be said about our classes in Junction, it’s one of the only times you can receive that much one-on-one mentoring for the price (which by the way, is a great deal more affordable than other workshops). Also, you don’t have to be a TTU student now to take the course (that’s right, this is sort of a pitch). However, before you sign up, you will have to submit an application to Tech, a formality, to be enrolled in the course. If anything (if you have a degree or not), you’ll get three hours of college credit in 15 days. How cool is that!?
If you’re interested, please shoot me an e-mail. I’m sure there’s some technical details I left out, but I can dig up anything!

First, I really enjoy photos of Dolan Falls!!! Second, does the change apply to all classes offered at Junction? (referring to not having to be a student)
I should clarify. You will have to be a student of TTU by the time you are taking the class. What I meant to say was that you do not have to be a current undergraduate or graduate student at TTU, or one during the regular semesters, in order to gain access to this class. You will, however, have to apply to TTU if you wish to take this class and you are not currently a student. Karen Lopez at the Junction TTU campus has all the answers relating to how you go about this: http://www.junction.ttu.edu
Heard you’re teaching a new video class from Wyman! That sounds amazing. I’d love to see the results from it. Very cool.
What if your an Alumni, do you have to re-apply to TTU? I missed out on this when I was at Tech and I’ve always wanted to do something like this.
Hey Luke,
Sure, but I’m pretty sure you’ll have to re-apply as a “grad-temp.” Karen Lopez at Junction, http://www.ttu.edu/hillcountry, should be able to help you out if you are interested in taking the course next summer!
