ELEMENTS OF NATURE: Capturing Wild Moments
Maine Media Workshops
Rockport, Maine
Capturing Wild Moments -- that’s the focus of my new photo workshop at Maine Media Workshops.
Wild moments are the revelations, epiphanies and surprises we hope for when we go into the wild world with a camera in hand. To make captivating images of those moments, it takes an artistic eye, a creative mind and confident camera skills. We’ll explore how to cultivate all three.
Join me and learn how to refine your vision and regain inspiration in wild and not-so-wild places.
FAVORITE JOURNAL ENTRY UNDER THE RAINBOW
Be lucky, be smart, be ready. That's what we learned on the last night of our workshop in Washington's Palouse Region. When the gloomy skies turned glorious before our eyes, we reveled in the good fortune our luck, wisdom and preparation brought us.

A return trip to an old familiar place brought back memories from film days. It also encouraged me to see things in a new light. Here are four more entries that reminded me to keep my eyes and my mind open when I explore new or old scenes and subjects.

A REUNION IN THE FIELD Joining an Old Friend for New Adventures
A good friend is like a good sunrise -- a surprise that never gets old.
I'm pleased to join Rod Barbee for five upcoming workshops. We co-led workshops years ago until we found challenges that took us in different directions. Now we're getting together again for new adventures in some of our favorite places.
Rod is a wonderful photographer, teacher and friend. I know we both look forward to sharing the trail and the view with like-minded photographers again. It's the best way I know to renew old friendships and make new ones.
Join us in the Great Smoky Mountains, North Carolina and the Colorado Rockies.
