I will be leading a photographer’s workshop in Tuscany in mid June of 2010.
It will be relatively inexpensive compared to other European workshops, and has a vacation component that includes some time in Rome, bicycling, and a winery tour.

Raising Funds For Charity With Rock n Roll?
Posted in etc on Aug 22nd, 2009

“Grisdale’s use of lens and color make his landscape photos ‘dreamlike’, it is as if a person was walking through a secret path in the forest with a centaur, having a telepathic conversation while admiring the trees as they fade in and out of reality.” – Erin Carter – The Prairie Artster
Artists Statement
Posted in etc on May 13th, 2008
I’m trying to come up with a non pretentious Artist’s Statement, but it’s not working. Each time I read my latest draft, I feel like a fool. I think they should be written by anyone but the artist. I like to fall back on the common response which is “I let the work speak for [...]
