Rock Creek Cemetery was formed in the early 1700's as part of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, an urban space with a natural rolling landscape. It was designed as part of the rural cemetery movement to function as both cemetery and a public park. This beautiful park-like setting is now a place of pilgrimage for people from all over the world, who come to see the remarkable variety of monuments and fine art sculptures including the famous Adams Memorial by Augustine Saint-Gaudens, and the architectural detailing of the various mausoleums. Several look like churches-in-miniature.
With dozens of striking memorial art and sculpture examples available to arouse your visual creativity, Bob will coach you on exposure, composition, and point-of-view. This is an especially favorable opportunity for black and white images. Be prepared to walk for your art!
Onsite there are specific rules of photographic conduct participants must follow. Class size limit is 15.
