Boston Photography class focused on the beauty of nature. Composition, visual elements and camera settings will be covered in this inspiring program.
The Flow-tography method helps you take your photos from like to love. You experience an immediate flash of recognition as your inner and outer life experience connect and you click the shutter. It all starts from an inner stance of stillness and results in an image that will be a joy forever.
You are invited to discover a playful path to mindfulness through photography. Flow-tography offers a way to see more deeply. Go beyond the obvious to the more subtle, intimate visual qualities of your life. It is not just about "getting the shot", it is about experiencing the moments of life that make us feel awake, alive and creative. All it requires is our full attention and slowing down to be still, from the inside out. You need to compose your self before you compose the shot.
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” – Ansel Adams

Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. Georgia O'Keeffe
Blossoms of Boston are among the most popular subjects for photographers. I imagine you have already taken hundreds of GOOD flower photos. We love their colors, shapes, textures and energy. This workshop will focus primarily on blossoms since this is the weekend they are here and so soon they will be gone.
Meeting point for this program is the entrance to the Kelleher Rose Garden. 73 Park Dr. b/t Peterborough St. and Queensberry St Fenway Boston MA 02215-5250
3,000 roses are in full bloom at the Kelleher Rose Garden located right behind the Museum of Fine Arts. This secret garden is not to be missed when you visit Boston. Every color, shape, and scent will inspire you to create dynamic compositions. The Kelleher Rose Garden is one of the hidden gems of the Emerald Necklace string of public parks in Boston. If you have never been, this is your chance, and if you have been many times before, join us to see the familiar beauty in a fresh way. We will do many visual exercises to learn how to show these flowers in their best light.
