At Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu New Mexico
In the desert landscape, nature rewards us with a sensuous palette of colors. Ghost Ranch is about slowing down and connecting with the sacredness of the land. Come and explore the red rocks, deep blue skies and mystical petrified trees with your camera. While most photography classes focus on technical competency, this class takes a mindfulness approach, emphasizing intuition and imagination. When we release expectations of how things ought to look, we free ourselves to create artistic images that come from our soul.
Imagine an entire week with just you and your camera, surrounded in the beauty of Georgia O’Keeffe’s backyard. Tap into your intuition, your creative spirit and your five senses. Join kindred spirits at this unique workshop. It will change the way you take photos and it just may change the way you see the world.
A series of exercises will be offered each morning to engage the senses and improve your powers of observation and composition. Guided hikes and field work will be available or participants may choose to work on their own. We will photograph sunrises, sunsets and visit sacred landscapes around Ghost Ranch and the surrounding area. Digital images will be loaded onto a computer for sharing and group reflection. All levels welcome.
I would love to have group members join me. Feel free to contact me for more information

Bob Courson of the Denver Metro Photo Group reached out to our club to invite us to attend a zoom meeting with Cole Thompson on May 17th. Bob reports that he “had the pleasure to see Cole’s presentation several weeks ago and have to say it was one of the most inspirational presentations I have ever seen on the essence of photography. This is NOT just about black and white but how to create you OWN voice in photography. This is truly a can’t miss.
In about one hour Cole Thompson will make the case that black and white is the perfect medium for any subject…except for one. Cole will show work from his various portfolios”

Insect Behavior and Wildlife Photography with Bob Krugmire
Thursday, April 28th, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Seeing the world through a lens can be extraordinary but can hold its challenges. Join us for an exciting talk centered around insect photography taught by our very own bug photographer, Bob Krugmire. With his vast experience on primarily animal photography, Bob has taken pictures ranging from hanging out of an airplane window, to working with wolves and black widows to get stock photos and carrying 50 pounds of gear up mountains to get that perfect sunrise shot. Listen as he discusses not only about insect photography, but about the act of photography itself.

ECC received this email from Bill Dickson, an ECC member 10-12 years ago.
Hello Evergreen:
I am Bill Dickson from Littleton (former Evergreen resident and Evergreen Camera Club member) and I am writing to the Evergreen Camera Club to see if someone in your Club would be interested in purchasing our deposit of $1394 for $300 (1,050 British pounds) for any Photo Workshop trip offered at www.create-away.com.
My friend and I have paid a deposit for two people for a photo workshop to southern France in 2022. It is a trip to photograph the horses of Camargue, medieval villages and the lavender fields. Unfortunately, we cannot take the trip for a variety of reasons but we are allowed to transfer our deposit to someone else to be used in 2022. That is why I am writing to the Evergreen Camera Club to see if someone would be interested in purchasing our deposit for $300 (value is $1394). You could choose from any trip they offer and they are photo workshops. You would not have to book the trip that we booked. I refer you to their website at www.create-away.com. If you are interested, I can share correspondence where Roz at Create Away acknowledges that we can transfer our deposit to someone else. Nothing will transfer, however without my approval.
This is a great opportunity to get photos that no one else in the Club would have, plus it is a great break on the deposit. Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Bill Dickson
