KEYNOTE & DESSERT RECEPTION Saturday 6:30-9 p.m. | $20 | Pioneer Barn, St. Augustine sponsored by Chasing the Light B y J oseph R o s s ba c h Lanscape photography is much more than a discipline or craft! It is a chance to connect with the natural world, a chance to capture a special moment when the light and the landscape come together in such a way that is takes our breath away. Nature photographers are a strange breed. We get up and stay out at ridiculous hours, we haul heavy equipment up mountainsides and into deep canyons, we usually prefer to be alone and we are not at all uncomfortable spending our time and money chasing the light and the landscape in beautiful, but often times far away locations. PHOTO BY JOSEPH ROSSBACH This is a unique opportunity to see Joseph’s work, gain insights into his creative process and experience how a full time pro spends his time preparing for and capturing magical light and landscapes from the deep canyons of the Southwest to the volcanic island of Iceland and many locations in-between. You will also have a chance to see new work from Joe’s current book, Impressions, a fine art coffee table book, 12x12 French fold, full color, featuring over 80 of Joe’s most stunning images from the past 15 years of chasing the light. 6
