CHICKS WHO CLICK
WHAT?
This is a workshop, not a "sit and be lectured to" opportunity. It's an intimate and interactive experience. Once a month we will meet for a field trip, your task will be to: photograph, learn, have a fantastic time and feel great about getting out with other friendly creative folk like yourself.
Karen's tasks' include: giving creative challenges, answering questions, getting you out with your camera, providing critiques, teaching about depth of field, shutter speed, exposure, light and composition.
Each time we meet we will begin with a discussion of technical aspects of photography and feedback on your photography. Then we will head out and shoot.
The atmosphere is laid back, inspiring and exciting.
WHEN?
Right now there is just one course on the calendar for this spring. We will be announcing some a weekend workshops which I am very excited to be offering with another photographer.The dates are:

Cost is $180
Registration opens on January 27 by calling the office. The best way to stay "in the know" about it is to watch the blog and register for the newsletter.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
The course is for those that want to explore their relationship with their camera and ideally have a digital SLR (we will welcome you with a point and shoot, but history has shown this to be limiting to participants.)
It is for those who can make all the dates.
The course is NOT for those wishing to pursue a career in photography, or wanting to earn any income from photography. If this is the case, it is not appropriate for you to register.
CAMERA CONFIDENCE
*after much request this is indeed a co-ed class, thanks for all the very creative name suggestions, definitely could have been scandalous
