**1:00PM - 1:50 Curtis Jones** / **Polar – Outdoor Photography Reimagined: Creating Story and Building Worlds**
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century people were obsessed by the last unmapped areas of the globe. The history of the Polar world is filled with intriguing characters, ambition, and folly. But it is more than the story of men and conquest it is a story of sea, ice, and land. Inspired by the journals and letters of the early explorers as well as my firsthand experience of polar worlds, I have ventured into a new creative project that is rooted in fact, fiction, and fable. Years of living and shooting these regions have afforded me a substantial photo database on which to build my world. Combining icy landscapes, an assembled cast of colourful characters, creative editing and a vivid narrative; I hope to reach back into the past and breathe new life into this daring Polar Age of exploration.

**3:00PM - 3:50 / Maggie Hood** “**A Series of Reinventions”**
Looking back to before I even picked up my camera, my journey, like many other’s journeys, has been a collection of experiences that involved trying something, deciding how I felt about it and adjusting accordingly. Photography has been no different. As a multi-genre full-time photographer, I’ve experimented with a variety of photography styles and genres, from types of sessions I was terrible at and others I just didn’t enjoy, to those that I love and find feed my soul. Experimenting is an important part of growth. Through this presentation, I hope to share with you some of the highlights and epic fails that have defined my journey so far and the importance of not only experimenting, but also letting go of the expectations we place on ourselves.

Whether it is creative / social media / business fatigue, I dive into why putting my camera down has helped me become a better human.
I will also walk through some of my own experiences as an artist/small business owner and how that eventually led to me leaving my camera in the bag more than it was out these past couple of years. Now, I’m slowly reintroducing myself to the photographic world with the know knowledge of knowing my limitations…and I'm ok with that. I’ll show you why you should be, too, if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Ashley, a family photographer discusses how becoming a mother allowed her to find a creative side of herself that had been there her entire life but she was quick to dismiss and allow to be drowned out. Motherhood and the camera became catalysts in a chain reaction to finding her creative heart. The creative whispers are quiet and subtle, they are so easy to miss but they are always there just patiently waiting for us to take notice in them. They speak to us all in different ways, their intensity waxes, and wains throughout different stages of life. She will share how she's learned that tuning in and listening brings a balance, understanding, and direction that she can't quite get from anything else.
