Digital Photography in Key West

February 12—17 and February 19—24, 2012

If you’ve never been to Key West, and wonder what all the fuss is about, here are a few clues: Gingerbread houses and lush gardens; sandy beaches (a favorite is rimmed with sensuous Australian pines); literary history and contemporary art; Caribbean colors and Cuban food; tightrope walkers and trained–bird shows; bicycles and boats; roosters and rapturous sunsets; Key Lime pie and Margaritas; conch burgers and cool jazz. If you’ve been to Key West, it’s a no brainer that you want to return.

JOIN PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER and INSTRUCTOR Neal Parent in a relaxed and friendly environment and have fun learning new skills, improving existing ones, and above all, laughing. Neal lives in coastal Maine where he owns a year–round gallery showcasing his work. He has conducted workshops in China, Canada, France and the Caribbean, as well as in Maine for Road Scholar, WoodenBoat School, and the Maine Media Workshops.
