Join us for a photo workshop not only in that grand lady of the south, Savannah, but in the Lowcountry that surrounds her. Founded in 1733, Savannah was laid out as a grid of squares, each surrounded by stately houses with inviting staircases, cascading plants, and beautiful flower boxes. Now numbering over 20, each square lures you in for a visit amongst magnificent, ivy-covered shade trees.

There are also Savannah's historic waterfront, a delightful potpourri of old brick buildings, striking river views, and at night, the sparkling lights of the modern, cable-stayed Talmage Memorial Bridge spanning the Savannah River between the city and South Carolina. Antique stores abound with photogenic displays, and humorous elements are found outside some of the store fronts, making fun photographic fodder.

Nearby, just to the north in South Carolina, are historic Port Royal, with its shrimp-boat fleet and long, winding board walk, and Beaufort, second oldest town in the state with stunning old houses. And we haven't even mentioned the great marsh lands, ancient White Oaks festooned in Spanish moss, a couple of forts, several lighthouses, old plantation grounds, historic cemeteries, quiet estuaries, and Tybee Island with its wide beach and dunes covered in sea oats and other plants. For anyone loving a slice of history and the grace of the old South, you can't go wrong. You'll be able to celebrate your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills, and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
