As a student for the inaugural workshop in 1996, Eshbaugh was involved with the "Spirit Level" photography workshops founded by Arno Rafael Minkkinen. A few years later Minkkinen, Eshbaugh (then serving as a professor), and Timo Laaksonen added the Tuscany, Italy (2003) and Oaxaca, Mexico (2007) exchange programs to the series. Works from these later workshops were exhibited in several venues including the Finnish Museum of Photography, and the Whistler House Museum. A book commemorating the first three "Spirit Level" workshops with work by all three professors and each student was published in 2008.
