Join Matt as he takes you on a journey through the wetlands to see mangroves as a source of inspiration and beauty in both the daytime and late into the night.

 Seminar 107

Creating an Immersive Nature Photo Essay with Craig Blacklock

Whether presented in print or through still or video electronic delivery, photo essays expand exponentially beyond what a single image can convey. The best essays draw you in, immersing you within the world being depicted. The photographer guides the you through an environment, presenting you with contextual landscapes, macro details, and often the wildlife inhabiting the landscape. While many nature photographers specialize, such as in bird photography, the photo-essayist must be proficient in all aspects of nature photography, and if self-publishing, must also understand layout, typography and marketing.

Craig Blacklock will share his techniques for planning and executing a nature photo essay, and show examples from his award-winning books and videos, including a preview of his upcoming book, LIGHT WAVES.  He will also talk about the process and his experiences in self-publishing books.

4:30 PM - 5:45 PM

Transcenders: A Quest for True Selves - The Gender Fluid World of He, She, THEY? with Robin Rayne

Award winning multi-media specialist Robin Rayne explores the confusing world we live in these changing times. Gender fluid, what does that mean?

Your teenage daughter prefers to dress as a boy? What do you do when she wants to be referred to was ’THEY’, not her or she. Come learn about this and so much more.

Focusing on the often-misunderstood topic of the transgender and non-binary community: those who leave their birth-assigned gender to live in their more authentic and true-to-self gender -- or even living with no gender at all. More confusion, right?  Gender identity has emerged as one of society’s most hotly-debated concerns, with more than 30 states passing new laws that directly impact this population, now estimated at 1.4 million people nationally. A growing number of middle and high school students now identify as transgender and use different pronouns, including singular ‘they.’

In this session, Robin will introduce you to dozens of individuals from his soon-to-be-released book Transcending: A Quest for True Selves.
