Nature Photography Workshop (Gina Bilander, photographer)
All ages and levels of skill and equipment are welcome as we learn to translate what we see and respond to into photographs: the art and science of light. Morning sessions from 10am-12 where daily handouts are given on technique, the history of photography and nature essays, as well as field trips. One class discusses whether, in this age of 24 hr. multimedia saturation, a photograph can still bear witness to the important issues of this time.

What does that mean for the political activities that they can afford (literally) to support the students in (like the encampments where we noticed it was all tenured faculty who were out there)?
