April 24, 25 & 26
3-DAY WORKSHOP WITH BELOVED CALGARY PHOTOGRAPHER MIKE DREW
Spring is on its way!
Why not refresh your photography this season by heading out on a workshop with local photo icon Mike Drew, author of On the Road With Mike Drew.
The leaves are popping, the birds are singing, and the flowers are starting to bloom. It is a glorious time to be outdoors. Especially with a camera in hand!
Join Mike on an exploration of the world around us as these marvelous changes occur. You'll explore places both close to home and a little further afield,* observing and photographing as you go.
Mike will give you tips on what to look for and how to capture it, show you some of the ways he photographs the world for his weekly On The Road stories, and maybe even inspire you to notice some of the little things we tend to just pass by in our daily lives.
Life begins anew at this time of year. Go out and watch it happen!
