This intimate little scene is one of many such in the yard of one of my teachers, one of the foremost proponents of the impressionist photograph. I shot the photograph during the course of a week-long photographic workshop on the elements of visual design, amidst a group of 14 other like-minded photographers. It was a heady, challenging time, but I went away feeling I had not learned much that I could put my finger on. Yet, now I create scarcely an image without incorporating what I did in fact learn in that week in the Canadian woods.
