PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE NATIVE LANDSCAPE - at Keolamauloa Farm

Mahi’ai Creative held a 3 day workshop in October, for students at the Hawai'i Sustainable Education Initiative (HSEI). The class took place at Keolamauloa Farm. Kaye Lundburg talked story about native plants and trees, including a discussion on their variety and cultural value, exhibiting examples of both young and full grown. Sally led the children through several days of photography and mixed media immersion, covering beginning camera techniques and an emulsion transfer process. Keith provided much needed background and technical support! The class was capped off by a showing of the resulting photography and artwork at the school’s benefit Localvore Dinner on Dec. 10. The event also included music, a silent auction, and an introduction to the school’s Community Supported Agriculture and Education program (CSAE). All profits went to tuition assistance.
