This is a portion of the article from PhotoMedia:

Reid Callanan, founder and director of the Santa Fe Workshops, is the PhotoMedia Photography Person of the Year for 1999. An engraved sculpture is given annually to a member of the photography industry who has earned recognition for "exceptional artistic and business accomplishments, passion, devotion to the industry, inspiration to colleagues, and humanitarian achievements in the community."

PhotoMedia honors Callanan and the Santa Fe Workshops for educating thousands of photographers at all career stages, while promoting the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and support for the photographic community in New Mexico and worldwide.. Through his dedication to these principles, Callanan has been able to attract the highest caliber administrative and seasonal teaching staff, while expanding a few courses started ten years ago this summer into the premier photography workshop in the western United States. The Santa Fe Workshops now offer classes in three seasons with more than 80 week-long courses that span the spectrum from basic lighting to the most advanced digital techniques. The Workshops attract up to 1,500 students a year from all walks of life with one simple goal: a desire to inspire and rekindle a passion for image-making.
