If you're a photographer who would like to make a difference in your community, then this meeting might be right for you. Join George Blumenshein to discuss ways to make this happen. He participated in just such a program out west and would like to brainstorm with local folks to explore the possibility of doing the same in our community. Taking portraits of homeless families, and shelter animals looking for placement are examples of projects done elsewhere.  This is an in-person class.

George Blumenschein Sr., a landscape photography veteran with over 20 years of expertise, skillfully captures the world's beauty through his seasoned lens. His images, frozen moments in time, transport viewers to awe-inspiring landscapes, showcasing a deep appreciation for nature's wonders.
