My final workshop week in Maine was another blur of full days, both in the classroom and in the field, wonderful scenery, good people and lots of learning and laughter. The week was so full and rushed by so fast, in fact, that I soon gave up the idea of trying to post here every day. So now that I'm back home in California I'm playing catch up and will be posting images from Maine foir the next week or so.

Amy, one of the students in the "Leaping into Digital" class, had motored up from Cape Cod on her 40 foot boat, the Banyan. On the afternoon of the last day, after the class had formally concluded, Amy invited a few other people from the class and myself to go out for a short cruise. The fog was so thick, however, that we only ventured a short distance into the outer harbor before deciding to come back and have a party at the dock, where there was no shortage of cameras, pixels or silliness.

The photo above shows Frank and Sue practicing the ancient art of Kung Foo Photography on the dock. The fresh sea air also inspired Bridget to perform a spontaneous display of dockside gymnastics, a traditional skill revered by sailors and sea-faring folk the world over. Having already lept enthusiastically into digital the previous week, Frank and Sue were there to make sure the event was thoroughly documented from a variety of angles.

I LOVE IT! That is great, you clearly captured your students at our best! BANYAN had a good trip home, hope to make the voyage again next year, and maybe we will go for a real cruise then. (If Frank remembers the chart plotter!) Thanks again! Amy

A pleasure for me to say hello. My name is Evan, the only thing I want is to congratulate the creators of this blog, first for having taken the time and desire necessary, and second because she left me fascinated by this reading, a long time I had the opportunity to read such interesting articles. Thank you very much for allowing me to tell.
