Monday, September, 28, 2020, 10:00am to 11:30am PST
The profound connection to the environment and wildlife enjoyed by many nature photographers is not accessible to us all equally. Whether you or someone you want to invite on nature photography outings uses a wheelchair, has limited use of their hands, or is weak and has tremors, this informative and interactive event is for you.
We will explore artistic techniques using Assistive Technology (AT) for smart phones and digital cameras in order to promote accessible photography for everyone. You are encouraged to reach out to HeartWorks Jeree’ and Rick in advance for specific information about your disability or mobility needs, and how to acquire AT.
At Sonoma State University – Center for Environmental Inquiry and Heartwork Photography we are deeply involved in both Nature and Wildlife Conservation and we work with many Environmental and Wildlife groups to increase awareness.
