Here are a few pics from the Longwood workshop. The highlight for me was donning gaiters and getting to wade into the famous water gardens to gather materials for the workshop! I was plant-geeking out so hard! Sometimes vantage point is what it's all about and I'll never have this one again, so I have posted a photo. Many thanks to Matt Ross, Longwood Continuing Education coordinator for all the help and support. The class participants made some amazing images, of which these are just a few. What a privilege and honor to be there!

Next up---cyanotyping at Longwood Gardens!
It's been a really busy summer teaching and running workshops, and all my students, youths and adults, have turned out some amazing work! Next on the agenda is the workshop in cyanotype process at Longwood Gardens outside Philadelphia in Kennett Square, PA. We will be using materials from the famous water gardens to make images in the historic cyanotype printing method. This one promises to be really fun!
June 20, 2015 Longwood Gardens
This week I worked with Longwood Gardens to develop a workshop for their continuing education program that combines photography with horticultural focus. Next August I will present a full day of exploring light sensitive processes that utilize plant materials from the gardens! There will be a presentation on the history of employing plants to create photographs such as anthotypes and chlorophyll printing, followed by a hands on class. Mark your calendars, August 2016 will be here before you know it :)
