Join local photographer J. Lanning Smith for this brand new photography class! "Street photography freezes moments we find in daily life on the street, and it allows us as photographers to create an emotional connection with people we don't know. In doing so, it captures a wider truth that is revealed in that moment. It tells us something about ourselves and about others. Street photography is about life. And we know life, or at least understand it a little better when we see it." -Rob Yarham. This course is designed for all levels of photographers, including phone photographers.

Granada in the south of Spain is one of the most exciting, different, and welcoming cities I know. So much is going on there in the culture historically and present. We will work mostly in our sketchbooks and Journals during our week in Granada. Moving around with only a backpack and light stools will be easier. We’ll be sketching alleys and mountains, the old casbah, and the famous Alhambra from inside and its surroundings—Flamenco performances in local bars, also gardens, and urban views. We will stay in beautiful accommodation in the heart of the old city, and from there we will have access to our sketching adventure.

We explore the dramatic landscape of Doolin, County Clare, Ireland and translate its landscape, energy and lore into visual artwork. Our time together will be a balance between group excursions, individual exploration, and creation coupled with sharing and diving deeper into technique.

Included in the retreat are 4 art workshops with Martin Bridge; field trips; 2 meals/day; housing and publication in an anthology of creativity (subject to vetting)—join us for this retreat of like-minded individuals connecting in various ways to the land in this very special place.
