Karthaus summer school 2008
Zur Goldenen Rose
The Karthaus summer school was accommodated in the excellent hotel Zur Goldenen Rose.
Music
Traditionally the summer school has several musical events. This year we had two, both after dinner: one on Saturday the 13th and the other on Friday the 19th. Lyrics and more can be found here.
Videos
Some participants were not only truly artistic photographers, but also made a few nice videos. You can check them here.
