Through slide lectures, discussions, outdoor photography, and critiques of student work, the class will consider not only the various techniques for capturing trees but the value of these large woody plants in our physical and mental landscapes.

Photography workshops spend most of the class indoors on a first- floor space in Glyndor Gallery or a space accessible via elevator. Additionally, each week photographers will go out into an area of the garden of their choice. The instructor uses a speaker system in all locations.
