Dahlonega – a Sense of Place
Images from my scouting trip for the upcoming Winery Workshop in North Georgia.
These are recent photographs from some of the locations we will visit on August 22nd and 23rd,
and illustrate in-camera techniques we will review during the two day workshop.
Exploring this region is a real joy, from the scenic curving roads, the real and artfully prepared food, and the open kindness of the people. The gentle mountains are dressed in ever changing colors and I found many hidden views
and landscapes to explore with my photography students.
