I started off the month of October by leading a small workshop on the Olympic Peninsula for a handful of intrepid photographers who were ready to be safely out and about.

Ive been overwhelmed with the response to Pathways to Creativity, and one of the most requested features from those who have subscribed has been some kind of assignment and critique component.

Season 1 of Pathways to Creativity is just about in the books, with a new episode dropping today! This one is all about color  and in some part, lack thereof.
