Photo Walk 2022 Announcement - San Francisco, August 13th 2022
I am also EXCITED to announce my first photo walk for the year coming this Fall. It'll be led by me, an educational opportunity for you to not only shoot and create your own images, but also ask me questions, experiment, play with light and creativity and also learn a bit about culture and art. The model we will be using will be a dancer, so you will have an opportunity to play with movement, light, composition, color and also feel inspired by connecting with your fellow photographers. It will be a 2 hr walk followed by dinner/drinks (not included in price) for everyone who wants to hang out and make new friendships! So go ahead and ask a friend to join with you, or come alone and make new friends :) Either way, I cannot wait to meet you!!

Submissions for the Call Me Artist Project are OPEN!

What is the Call Me Artist (CMA) Project? We are creating an online magazine full of photographs, stories, videos, and other forms of digital media that will inspire people to call themselves artists. Whether it is an image you are proud of, a before and after set of images describing you photography journey, a written or oral story of your journey through art, or some other piece you are proud of, it will be perfect for the CMA Project. 

Just starting out?
Don't even worry if you're not at a place to call yourself a photographer or an artist. Share something with us that you are proud of. Seeing your image in a magazine years down the road will be so amazing! 

Confident Pro?
We know we aren't the only people out there who want to inspire others to call themselves artists and photographers. Your images and your words will help others get through some of the ups and downs we face as creatives. Share them with us, today!

The CMA Project will be curated and digitally distributed to photographers all over the world in the late spring/early summer of 2022 and at the Call Me Artist Retreat, September 23 to 25, 2022

Submissions are open! Check out the details and submit today!

Here's a few reviews from the 2020 Retreat 
 
"I really loved Sarah's Music video. I was in tears ! Her story hit home with me as well. Sometimes , us women have so much in common and yet no one would ever know. I loved seeing how she documented her journey."
 
"The array of speakers and topics you had was absolutely wonderful. I learned so much and will reference these materials more than just what I experienced over the course of the weekend!"
 
"Such fabulous material! I can't believe the effort that the instructors went to to produce meaningful lessons and discussions. Just incredible. So grateful to have had a ticket :)"
