Weekend Workshops typically begin on Thursday evening with an introductory session of wine and hors d’oeuvres and an opening instructional/inspirational program. Friday includes a combination of field work and classroom critique. Saturday is spent in the field and in processing at the end of the day. There is often a field picnic and a always a shared dinner. On Sunday the weekend concludes with an inspirational program and a critique of participants’ images. It’s an intense, but fun-filled time that is designed to take you further on the path of your photographic journey.
