...this shot - leads these intensive, one-week courses for dedicated amateurs hoping to take their photography to the next level. Held two or three times a year in various Asian cities (the next is scheduled for Kathmandu in March 2007), the courses have previously featured guest lecturers such as photojournalist Tom Stoddart and celebrated war photographer Philip Jones Griffiths. There are no more than 12 to 16 participants at a time, and all are thrown in at the deep end - tasked with producing a professional-quality photo essay by the end of the week.

...Held two or three times a year in various Asian cities (the next is scheduled for Kathmandu in March 2007), the courses have previously featured guest lecturers such as photojournalist Tom Stoddart and celebrated war photographer Philip Jones Griffiths.

The pen-insula alone holds some 10,000 known engravings, but the visitors' center is closed for renovations, there are no signposts, and the intrepid Parker, 47, searches his creaky memory in vain. Low, brown boulders and rust-colored piles of super-hard granophyre give no clue to the location of the artistic riches hidden in the scrub beyond the sealed road from Karratha...
Alexandra Avakian made three trips to Lebanon in 2005, with the daunting ambition of getting closer to Hizballah than any Western photojournalist before her. She expected to be assigned an escort, but none was necessary. "Party discipline is so tight, no one was going to reveal any secrets," says Avakian.

"Out of nowhere a security agent appeared on a motorcycle," she recalls. "One time my digital camera was taken...
