Pictures are worth a thousand words, but those thousand words aren’t easy to capture.  Join us for a hands on photography workshop.  The workshop will start off with a brief panel discussing common photography problems, hands on work, and a conclusion showcasing photographs from the workshop.  The workshop will include food for photography (and eating) under different lighting conditions.  Attendees should be prepared to shoot photos, and they are encouraged to bring their equipment and laptops.
