"Mane" event

We are in the process of scouting locations for a series of monthly on-location workshops for people who want to get the most out of their digital cameras. Last week, we discovered the New England Carousel Museum in Bristol Connecticut.

Yes, there really is a carousel museum full of history, tradition and nostalgia from the horses and sleighs on the earliest carousels to theme figures on some of the more modern rides. It's also where carousel owners and collectors send their favorite figures to be repaired, restored, refurbished, or just displayed for all to enjoy.


The idea of on-location workshops is to prepare people for those key moments when they are on vacation, or at a special event, and they are the only one with a camera. The pressure to take the perfect picture looms over their shoulder. Suddenly panic sets in, their mind goes blank and so does the camera. Teaching the basics on-location locally means no matter what you do, you can always go back and try again. It's the best way to hone your basic skills for the "mane" event.
