WORKSHOPS by Carolyn Taylor
I get itchy about this time every year. No, not from mosquitoes or woolen clothes, I’m itching to

cover, this would be one of them. Trouble was, that while I pored over my instruction book before
loading my one-week old camera, four screaming professional photographers come roaring over the
hill toward me. Seems they had camped out at this very site for three mornings waiting for the
