Currently, because of an ongoing commitment to teach in the summers at THE SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO, Mr. Gittings is limiting his private workshops. The workshop at the SAIC is a 6 week intensive course in photographing historic architecture. The next scheduled class is in the summer of 2010. For more information go to SAIC and do a search for Kirk Gittings.
