The advent of the digital camera has made photography much more accessible to everyone. But what do we take photos of? Snapshots of friends and family? Lovely landscapes? Beautiful sunsets?

In this workshop we’ll use the camera to look at the world differently. Inspired by the photographs and spirit of Harold Feinstein, we’ll discover beauty and mystery in the ordinary.

This is one of the gifts of photography. It’s not what you were looking for, it’s what found you, what drew you. It’s following that playfulness, saying yes to what draws me, it’s the curiosity, it’s the finding out, and the fun, and the continuum and surrendering to it. - Harold Feinstein

We’ll practice a series of exercises with and without the camera to help you begin to look at the world differently. You’ll practice becoming quiet inside so that you can truly see what’s in front of you and discover the wealth of imagery that’s always right there if you just pay attention.

The workshop does not require any previous photographic experience but has value even for the most experienced photographer. You can use a digital camera if you have one, but a smart phone camera is fine.

My basic instruction to my students has always been: When your mouth drops open, click the shutter. – Harold Feinstein
