Beth was one of the four panelists at the opening plenary session at the recent Creative Economy Summit 4 in Turners Falls. She will be talking about: "...transforming a space, the idea of creating a creative space and why, what we do at base camp - I have a kitchen - we can have snacks and drinks. There will be a small hands on project, making botanical prints - sun prints (something fun and summery!)" If you have ideas for what other things we could do or talk about, feel free to tell us. We'd love to see you there :) Best, Beth, Lisa and Casey (Your Friendly Event Organizers :) About Basecamp: A bit about Basecamp from their site (http://www.basecampphoto.com/about/): Base camp photo teaches, mentors and coaches youth and adults in a wide range of photography skills and projects. We also offer professional photographic services using the power of pictures to help tell the story of your wedding, family, company, special events and more. Community is also important at base camp photo. We nurture the community of photographers and their talents by providing them a place to gather and share their work and experiences; by organizing events, gallery viewings, and field trips; and by offering services unique to the area, including fully equipped studio rentals. We are also about giving back to the community, connecting students to non-profits and others who need but cannot afford professional photographic services to tell and promote their story. We offer a holistic approach to photography that includes classes, workshops, lectures, a studio and a gallery. We want base camp photo to be the place where photographic enthusiasts come for education, exploration, and inspiration. -- Lisa Hoag Designs PO Box 983 Wendell, MA 01379 http://www.lisahoagdesigns.com
