From Nov. 14-19, 2022 I joined a photography workshop organized by Chuck Haney to explore the cypress swamps in the bayous of Louisiana. I had thought that the primary aim of the workshop was the shore birds, but it turned out the main target was the cypress trees in the swamps. I heard about the workshop through my academic colleague David Sparks, who is an avid bird photographer that I met when I was in Denver over the summer. <\/p>\n

The workshop started in an unconventional manner. We spent the first night at the Oak Alley Plantation, an old Southern plantation that has been preserved and maintained as a site to get a sense of what life on a plantation was like. So, for example, there were restored slaves quarters and blacksmith shop. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
