Teaching

I'm interested in a conversation that thrives on mutual engagement and subjective response. Words that resonate: dialogue, exploration, skepticism, wonder, play.

For me, the art of teaching is rooted in the belief that thoughtful action is the bedrock of art practice, and that thinking thrives with support and challenge. The teacher's job is to create a richly structured experience that engages a student’s imagination, to coax the student toward active response, and then to get out of the way.

For more on this stream of thought, please check my blog, Considering Pictures.

Since 2002 I've been teaching at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, and at the International Center of Photography. I've also taught community college and high school photography and journalism, and given numerous short-term workshops and exploration classes for primary grade students. I'm available for private lessons and consultations as well.
