site: The Acadia Project

OK, enough of the Munki (for now).

I wanted to share this little dream/project I had not too long ago, of organizing a photographer's retreat at Acadia (Mount Desert Island). If you've never had the chance, look at the rich history of Monhegan Island, off the coast of Maine... it has, since the turn of the century, and to this day, been an artist retreat/colony, and has a rich history of talent springing from that community. The Acadia Project is the same idea... only based out of Bar Harbor, Maine, and working around Mount Desert Island, and the Acadia National Park.

Acadia is a very special place... geographically unique on the coast of the Northeast, but also rich in a host of other features, yielding an incredible array of potential subjects for photographic study. There is so much more there than the "postcard" photos you're used to seeing.

The Acadia Project is an idea I had to get a bunch of people up there with diverse styles, but a common interest in taking digital photography to the highest level.

Please have a look at the Acadia Project, excuse the random website design, and if you're interested it pushing it a step further, use the form there to let me know.

The Acadia Project site is here.
