Photographs can take your breath away. A beautiful image can transport you to another time. It can flood you with long-forgotten memories. It can go far beyond being a record of a thing and can instead surround you with an essence. Join photographer and storyteller Eddie Soloway for an entertaining and informative presentation designed to open up the beauty right in front of you and deep inside your heart, including a look at some easy ways to make fresh and personal photographs.
