Back by popular demand: What’s in YOUR Back Yard, 2nd Edition!!!

Details follow, but first these words from Mary Oliver:

“Instructions for living a life:Pay attention.Be astonished.Tell about it.”

-       From the poem Sometimes

Several of you had expected/requested photography from the 1st Edition of this series. We aim to please! This 2nd Edition features a single speaker, Photographer and Author Donn Dobkin, who will leverage his recent photographic book, Wild Goose, A book of Suburban Wonder to astonish and delight you.

We always make promises. Once again, we promise you will leave the event wanting to share surprising things you’ve seen and heard with others. We like to think Ms. Oliver would approve.

The evening’s discussion will have three parts, prior to Q&A:

-  How to See more than you imagined

-  Being really, truly ready for whatever happens, and ready to make special photographs

-  Storytelling three ways: Beyond pretty pictures, the making of the book

As before, doors open at 5:30; please arrive early enough to be in your seats promptly at 6pm. Once again, we promise to be complete within 75 minutes.

Tickets are again free, but you do need to click the "One-click RSVP" to register.
