We have just received official word from the Ecological Society of America (ESA) that our two 2011 “Photography for Ecologists” workshops have been approved. Our team (myself, SustainableFocus.org Associate Editor Molly Mehling, SustainableFocus.org Moderator Nathan Dappen, and Neil Ever Osborne) will be leading the two workshops at the 96th annual ESA meeting in Austin, TX in August. The first workshop, which will run from 8am-5pm on Sunday, August 7th, will be a field-based workshop on how to capture intentional, effective images. The second workshop, which will run from 8-10pm on Monday, August 8th, will focus on using visual media effectively in outreach. We’re really excited to bring these workshops to the ESA audience! Stay tuned for more details; I will share the official workshop URL (and instructions on how to sign up) as soon as that information is available.
