We will practice photography from a variety of angles and vintage points with subjects ranging from bugs\, to wildflowers\, to landscape views. \nRegister for the Friday Nigh Talk HERE. \nAubrey Laughlin is a multidisciplinary artist whose work weaves together poetry\, nonfiction\, and photography with a deep reverence for the natural world and the emotional landscapes it reflects.
