What exciting new location awaits you this coming year? Will it be abroad or a place near by that you’ve been dying to explore? At Aurora this year we have made lots of new friends and have been able to experience new beginnings but there is still more to see! So where will you go in 2012?
This year was a standout year for us at Aurora Photos and Novus Select. We saw amazing contributions from our photographers and lots of new faces make their home here with Aurora. We’d like to wish everyone a happy holidays and for all to be merry!
Aurora photographer Shoshannah White was recently granted permission to install “Stand of Elms” at the University of Maine in Orono, ME. “Stand of Elms” is an illuminated glass sculpture of photographs that wrap around the cube as one continuous landscape and capture a group of American Elm trees in Castine, Maine.
From Shoshannah, “The University’s campus mall was at one time lined with American Elm trees – almost all of which suffered the blight of Dutch Elm Disease. Dr. Richard Campana (1918 – 2005, professor emeritus at the University of Maine, Orono) was an expert on Dutch Elm Disease and helped develop/administer a vaccine that saved innumerable American Elm trees including more than 300 in the town of Castine, Maine.”

Join people like you, people who love the outdoors and want to shoot better photos. In this weeklong workshop, everyone will get to participate at both ends of the camera. Under José Azel’s instruction, you’ll learn to shoot better photos, and when you’re hiking, biking and kayaking other members of the group will be shooting you. It’s a great chance to have some outdoor adventures in a spectacular setting and hone your photography skills at the same time. Using each other as models, you’ll get a workshop and a workout, all the while enjoying the quaintness of a small baja town, Loreto.
