Pecha Kucha Night, Downtown Redding. I was asked to be one of the presenters in this event, which takes PowerPoint presentations in an entirely new direction. I will have a 20 slide show with 20 seconds to talk about each slide. To give you an idea of what to expect, my normal presentations last about an hour and a half. I don’t do well with word limits or time limits, so feel free to come out and watch me fumble.
May 2010
I have a variety of workshops at the Aperture Academy that I will be teaching this month including the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. May is the best time for waterfall photography in the lush Pacific Northwest. Check it out and reserve your place before this workshop fills!
I have several images on display at HDR Imaging in Redding along with several other great Northern California photographers.

Winter Update
Posted: December 4, 2009
Winter is approaching and I’m looking forward to getting out and photographing. I’m hoping to make a trip or two up to Crater Lake National Park to get a few images of the area covered in winter snow. Crater Lake receives about 550 inches of snow a year…so winter photography is challenging….but fun!
The Aperture Academy is open and we’re offering a wide variety of classes in the state of the art classroom, or out in the field. Check out the website or stop by in person to see all we have to offer.
I’ve just returned from a seven day shoot in Utah and Arizona. The weather was dicey and cold for most of the trip, but I still managed to come away with several images that I’m happy with, be sure to check out the gallery pages to see the latest additions, or the store to purchase one of these images to hang in your home or office.
January’s in field workshops are full at the Aperture Academy. I’m looking forward to meeting a new group of photographers. The February Death Valley Workshop is filling quickly, and only a couple spots remain. Don’t get left out!
When I’m not teaching a class or out in the field shooting all my photgraphy time is spent planning Project Iceland. I’ve gotten the basic route planned, and am in the process of researching hiking trails, and logistical issues I’ll face while in the remote interior of the country. Stay tuned for more information on this project as departure date draws near. The goal is to have the porject be interactive, so people can follow me as I work my way through the country, and even suggest places or experiences for me to try.

October Update
Posted: October 14, 2009
It’s been a while since the last formal news update, so here’s a quick summary of what’s happening around here at brianruebphotography.com:
Aperture Academy Opening in November
I’m pleased to be partnering with Stephen Oachs in his venture, The Aperture Academy, a full service photography studio and classroom. This venue will allow for anything and everything photography. This will house a gallery with a permanent display of Stephen’s work, as well as a gallery showcasing different photographers. There’s also a state-of-the-art classroom where Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom classes will be held. In the months to come, the school will be offering classes in everything photography related, for every skill level. These will cover a wide range, from entry-level “Photoshop 101″ type classes to in-depth “out in the field” workshops in a variety of amazing locations. There’s nothing like this school anywhere, and I’m very excited to be a part of it. Learn more at the official site.
Workshops Are Filling Fast!
2009 is coming to a close, and workshops are filling fast. Our October San Francisco workshops was filled as is the fall Yosemite workshop. Space is limited in the November San Francisco workshop as well. See the Workshops page for a complete listing of all the photography workshops available for the remainder of 2009 and 2010.
Project Iceland
I’m setting out this summer to Iceland to work on my first book. I’ll be gone for 65 days, and it’s certain to be a memorable adventure. There are some pretty exciting things planned for this, so check out the Project Iceland page for more details and to find out how you can be a part of the magic.
