Photography is just another word for drawing with light. Chemistry and sunlight were all that was needed for the first photographic images. Today we are removed from the basic science behind the history of photography due to easy access to digital cameras. Come have fun in the sun and create your very own sun prints using plants as a theme. We will have plenty of plant items for you to make your image but feel free to bring your own!
