Photography and Writing

This workshop is about inspiring your creativity in both photography and writing. The workshop will draw upon photography and writing as ways in which you can reconnect with the moment, and be more present with your attention. The result will be, enhanced enjoyment of the world around you, peace with your thoughts, and a unique self-crafted book. This workshop requires no previous experience in photography or writing, and the minimum of photography equipment – in fact, a simple phone camera is perfect!
