March 13, 2010  --  The Barns of Cameron, Cameron, NC 

 

The painted barns outside of Cameron, NC, are probably among my favorite subjects to photograph. In part, because the barns are part of the rural culture of the South, but also because every side of every barn and building is painted with a different design. And, because like many of the barns in North Carolina, there will come a time when they no longer exist.  The barns of Cameron are on my schedule every year for just this reason. Come join me in capturing and preserving a piece of the past, and practice a wide range of photography in the process.

 

April 10, 2010  --  Elizabethan Gardens, Manteo, NC 

If you have never visited the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, you're in for an amazing treat! The garden is covered with trails that lead in an out of natural and formal garden settings and offers a mecca of opportunity for garden and flower photography. You can capture landscapes and intimate macro moments in every corner of this beautifully designed garden. With an area this size, it's easy to find that you've only scratched the surface - even if you spend an entire day there. Learn how to see and control the light and come home with images that excite and inspire you.

 

 

 

 

May 15, 2010  --  Weyerhaeuser's Cool Springs Environmental Learning

                               Center, near Askins, NC 

This unique property is located adjacent to the Swift Creek and Neuse River and has about three miles of trails that traverse through a pine plantation, mixed pine and hardwoods, cypress/gum swamp, riverine, and pocosin-like ecosystems. There is much to explore and photograph, and we will be there with special permission. We will take our lunch break on the property. You won't want to miss this opportunity!
