A Walk Into Nature

What an amazing experience I had with Connor, Samantha, Jenny and Ashley. Short hikes into nature and sharing the beauty
of it all was a true inspiration. I enjoyed showing these kids camera use and guiding them through their expressions of creativity.
The imagery they captured and their excitement was heart warming.

Enjoy their photographic journey!

Leslee Brandt - WOW! These kids are amazing. The teaching that you provided them gave us such wonderful pictures. Artistic express is very hard to teach, but you have been able to do that. Do you teach adults or are we too set in our ways?!? ;) In all seriousness, Garret said when he worked on high school yearbook as a photographer he couldn't take pictures this good. Well done!

Dee Morris Gibson - Fantastic shots!! I am really quite impressed! The way these children visualize there shots is amazing!! Love them! Keep up the good work, Cathy! =)

Debbie Bruell - I loved looking at these photos. They made me feel like I was right there with you -- and they made me want to join you on your next walk through the woods! What a wonderful way to enjoy the world around you and share that joy with others. Debbie

“A Sense of Place” Aspen Community School

A classic autumn morning was spent with students (grades 5-8) at the Aspen Community School. Bluebird skies, snow capped mountain tops, an array of fall colored leaves along with a group of enthusiastic kids greeted us! Our guided photo workshops were blended into the students present studies of a “Sense of Place”, a lesson in natural history. Students along with their teachers, Garry Pfaffman and LouRae Doyle, explored their campus surroundings in a new and refreshing perspective. We appreciated the kids mentioning how our photography workshops opened their eyes to things they had taken for granted and allowed them to reconnect with their surroundings. Each child’s experience was rounded out by selecting a favorite image and writing a short caption of what inspired them. Thanks for having us!

“Shopping Cart Litter” A message to all communities…

A photo essay by Emily (age 10), Aaron (age 6) and Ashley Adams (age 4)

This photo essay was documented and written in a fun positive way to bring forth an awareness to our community and communities around the world of the increased shopping cart litter. In a two hour time, with the assistance of their parents, Emily, AJ and Ashley Adams collected over 25 shopping carts, digging them out of snow drifts, from the road side, bus stops and underpasses and returned them to the store. Thank you for viewing our images and reading our story. Together we can free our communities of “shopping cart litter”
Enjoy!
