 Click on photo to enlarge.
Point Lobos, Carmel California. 
One of the places Seewald holds his classes.

Join us for a 2, 3, or 7 day photographic workshop this July and learn how to make strong artwork from the master...

"I gained a new, better way of evaluating the composition of an image in terms of the impact on the viewer. Michael was able to dramatically demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of each image.

...The value of Michael's suggestions and comments was tremendous...Michael was sensitive and appropriate in his critiquing and his critiques were always directed to produce a positive result".

Recent Photo Art Auction Action.

This image, "Pond" by Edward Steichen, sold for $2,928,000 in 2006 at an auction at Sotheby's!   That smashes the previous record for a photograph sold at auction, $1,248,000, by the selling of Richard Prince's “Untitled (Cowboy)” !!!

Go see other recent auction prices of photographic
art at Sotheby's and Christie's.

Into fishing?
Millions are, as is Michael, and he has recently (2003) taken up his childhood hobby, especially bass fishing.  Click here to read his reports, get tips, etc..

3.20.2006
World record 'largemouth' bass.

Photographed and released; this 25.1-pound largemouth bass was caught, and then released by Mac Weakley at Lake Dixon, in N. San Diego county California.  It would have been an 'official' world record had it not been 'snagged' (which is illegal in California). It is held here by Weakley's fishing partner Mike Winn. AND it was 'almost' caught by Michael Seewald less than one month later; read that incredible story here.

Santiago fires above Lake Mission Viejo.

October 2007 So. California fires.

We had a close call, both at our home in Del Mar and our gallery in Encinitas, but the good Lord spared so much due to the Santa Ana winds (40-45 mph winds with gusts up to 75-80) not roaring thru as predicted on Tuesday. 0ver 600,000, at one point, were evacuated, including us.
