The meaning of photography...
Why This Experience Matters?

'The Meaning Of Your Photography Is To Give Your Photographs Meaning'
Most of us have about 4,000 weeks to live. How many of those have you spent chasing gear? Or photo trends that mean nothing to you? Or dreaming of becoming a photographer instead of being one?
This experience has been designed with those questions in mind. This workshop is an invitation to self-exploration, to step fully into the present, to focus on your craft and to embrace the profound joy of taking photographs surrounded by like-minded people that make the whole experience better.
