Listening to the Land: Photography Walk

Thursday, March 16th, 5 - 6 pm, Macon County Library, Franklin, NC

This one-hour walk will help you reimagine photography as a tool for inspiring wonder and delight. Using simple contemplative photography practice, we will learn how to see and respond to the hidden beauty around us while finding new ways to make meaningful photographs. Starting at the Macon County Library, we will take a leisurely photography walk on the Little Tennessee River Greenway.

Requirements:  Photographers of all levels are invited (camera phones are welcome); even a seasoned practitioner should find value in this unique approach to the medium.

Cost: Free - donations to the Listening to the Land project are welcome.
