August 7, 2024 – Nature photography is not the serene, life-prolonging experience most magazine articles say it is. In fact, it’s anything but the “Zen” experience they espouse. Come listen to Dean Newman, a nature photographer from our area, tell the “behind-the-scenes” stories of the images you see in publications. Dean has been bitten, scratched, kicked, spat on and along with any other ways birds, animals and reptiles can injure you, all in the name of “getting the shot”. You’ll never look at another magazine photograph the same.

This event is FREE and hybrid, meaning you can join us in-person or virtually. Registration is required.
In-person participants are welcome to join us for a pre-reception at 6:15 pm.
