I am in Traverse City these days and have been hosting free photography workshops with the help of my good friend Bevin Buchler. Our last workshop was held at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The idea for that workshop was to do a sunset shoot using models so that people could practice lighting in those conditions.
Walking on the dunes with all our camera gear in 80 degree heat is no easy task but we were able to manage.
The Sleeping Bear Dunes is a perfect setting for photography workshops. The water is warm and inviting and the views are spectacular. If I would have had my swim trunks I would have taken a dip.

We met Bree on the beach. She was visiting the dunes on her way to California and she was nice enough to model for us.

Bevin and I are hosting another workshop tomorrow, August 8th, at the State Hospital in Traverse City. We have 27 people signed up so far on Facebook and another 25 who said they might come. That should be lots of fun. Photography is a fun way to meet people and interact. I always enjoy getting together and talking about photography.
