Photography Clinic at Return to Freedom: June 2-7, 2008

Join award-winning photographers Tony Stromberg and Kimerlee Curyl for a 6-day equine photography workshop that will be taught at Return to Freedom. The workshop is June 2-7, when the landscape is full of color and richness, and life is celebrated with the arrival of new foals. Included in the workshop will be a "wild horse walking adventure", this is devoted to teaching participants about wild horse behavior and how to move about and integrate into their special world. The workshop will also teach the importance of developing a relationship with the horses, with emphasis in "co-creation" as it relates to the authorship of a finished image.
