***Reminder: this is a PHOTOGRAPHY retreat for those in the field (whether professional, semi-professional, or hobbyist). As such, there will be photography-based challenges throughout the week of the trip. I created the IAP Retreats for us to learn from one another, expand upon our current skills, and above all to spark our creativity/inspiration.
