Health and Wellness

First SnowIt has been years since I've picked up a camera and taken pictures of whatever caught my eye, but over the past year, our family has gotten back into photography. And in doing so, I could only see beauty each time I looked through the camera. The process of taking a picture takes you down that path... a path that can't help but be uplifting.

I've been suggesting this to Joel, our son, that he ought to remember that the camera can give you a different perspective on the world around you. The camera is a wonderful tool to help heal. The examples in the galleClimbing Fastry above are what we've seen this past year.

And with this idea in hand, the “Well Spring Health Center” would like to announce that it will be supporting the formation of a photography club here in Aroostook County called The Aroostook F-Stops. The focus will be more on the artistry of taking pictures and not particularly on the equipment. Some of the best and most memorable photographs we have in our family were taking with very cheap and simple cameras.

Grateful SunWe'll be inviting the most experienced photographers in the area to talk about their work, as well as introducing educational material that is available on the web and exchanging ideas and techniques. We've got the space for a pretty good sized group of people and since we are in the mall, it should be pretty central to most everyone that would like to attend. We are planning the first meeting in mid-September, so keep an eye on on this blog for more information.
