Our speaker will be Greg Holden, giving a talk on ‘Learning to See Creatively.’ Greg will discuss how he sees the world around him and how he captures that through his photographs.

Whether it is iPhone photos taken in his kitchen or DSLR images from local parks, Greg’s photos will demonstrate that you do not have to travel to exotic locations or spend hours using software manipulation to make creative images.
