Is it SPRING yet?
Welcome to the PhotoJourneys Workshop’s New Website!

Feb 17th, 2015
The good news about the piles of snow is that in between shoveling (it was my fine idea that we didn’t need to buy a snow blower this year!) I’ve had time to get the PhotoJourneys Workshop’s new website up and running! With the help of the fabulous Brittany Roberts, a recent graduate of the the MassArt photo program and web designer extraordinaire, this site has become a reality. Although she is heading to Seattle for a great opportunity, she will still be helping me from the Pacific Northwest and I heartily recommend her for any web work you might have.
Browse the new site and let me know what you think – I’m happy to answer questions, get feedback and talk with you about ideas for future workshops.
I’m very excited about our workshops this year and have good input from past students about what they would like to see. I will be posting more information for the Portland website, but I leave in the morning for a week of sun, sand and surf in Mexico (yahoo!), then I have a corporate shoot in Chicago in the beginning of March, but I will get the information out. If anyone is interested in a portrait/flash workshop, let me know! If we can get enough people, I’d be happy to lead one.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!
Out the back window – the snow is waist high!
Here’s our white world now – I promise to post some color from Mexico!

Weekend PhotoJourney on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Cape Cod National Seashore Weekend Workshop
Friday Evening to Sunday 12 p.m.
Writers, painters, and photographers have long enjoyed the benefits of a Cape Cod creative retreat. This magnificent haven boasts incredible sunrises and sunsets, still wild long sandy beaches, ponds and tall grasses, salt marshes, lighthouses, dramatic sand dunes, quaint shops, a even a windmill. September on the Cape is considered by some to be the most lovely, with dramatic light and less crowds.
During the workshop, Kathy will work with each participant to address opportunities to capture unique images and enhance their photographic knowledge and skill. The goal of the workshop is learning in a supportive and fun environment with other photo enthusiasts.
We will discuss camera settings and functions that can be used to increase your creativity, exposure, depth of field, rules of composition and other digital tips. The class size is small so the personal attention time is high. We want you to come home with amazing photos and a better understanding of how you achieved them!

Portland Maine, Oct 10, 11, 12, 2014
Portland, Maine is a treasure trove of cobblestone streets in historic Old Port, a thriving arts scene, and a vibrant waterfront along Portland Harbor at the mouth of the Fore River and Casco Bay. We will even venture to Cape Elizabeth’s famous lighthouse on the rocky coast.
