JUNE 18-22
Wednesday to Sunday: the longest days
of the year
Prairie Sun and the Summer Solstice
Four days of visual exploration for photographers
who want
to learn how to see beyond the obvious
& expand their creativity.
| Explore a new landscape
that challenges your visual assumptions and reinvigorates your photographic
pursuits.
The emphasis of my teaching is on enhancing your experience of the natural world. My workshops are designed for photographers of all levels. I have taught in Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Prince Rupert, Naramata, Victoria. Your life as a photographer is made up
of moments of discovery in which all your senses sing in celebration.

Experience the magic
of Canada’s last prairie wilderness at beautiful Grasslands National Park,
Saskatchewan.
I have published more than 900 photos,
taught the nature & wildlife course at the Western Academy of Photography
in Victoria, BC for 12 years, and was the photography columnist for Explore
magazine.
