Local nature and landscape photographers stepped in to help with this Spring's class after instructor Rodger Hartman suffered a heart attack. Alice Garland, John Latta, Charles Gurche, and John Dean each made presentations during the month of May. Photographer Joe Nuess has taken over teaching the class while Rodger recovers and is taking the students on an overnight field trip to the Bison Range in Montana. THANK YOU!
