Creativity Continues at Santa Fe Workshops with a conversation between two photographic masters, Chris Rainier and John Paul Caponigro.<\/p>\n

Our hour of inspiration will begin with a short presentation of images by both artists \u2013 one focused on land and the other on culture.<\/p>\n

Then, Chris and John Paul will share their journeys and insights. What is sacred? What does it mean to approach the sacred with photography? What does a sacred image look and feel like? Can one actually photograph what is sacred? What is a sacred journey? How can other cultures inspire our own sacred journeys?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll finish with a lively question-and-answer session open to all participants.<\/p>\n

Join Santa Fe Workshops\u2019 worldwide community of photographers and writers as Creativity Continues.<\/p>\n
