This was another fantastic event in Townsend, Tennessee with 125 nature & landscape photographers gathering for a few days of shooting, instruction, and community.
This was my third year attending, and my second year as a volunteer “Camp Counselor” and it was the best one yet. My friend Jeff Martyka arranged some great pre-event adventures for us, and then the Summit itself was also a ton of fun.
