Weekday programs are led by photographic team Rob and Ann Simpson. Rob, a former park ranger, is a professor of Natural Resources and Field Biology and directs the Nature and Outdoor Photography Curriculum at Lord Fairfax College, Virginia. Ann is a professor of Anatomy and Physiology and teaches Biology, Microbiology, and Photography. The Simpsons apply their classroom and educational experience to the field and have the gift to explain complex concepts in simple, easy-to-understand language. 

Weekend photo walks are led by a Canon Explorer of Light member. Canon’s Explorer of Light program is comprised of a group of the most celebrated, internationally known photographers ever assembled. By attending a weekend photo walk, you will not only learn to improve your photo composition skills, but also be inspired by the photo professionals who conduct each photo walk. 

No cameras are necessary. Canon will provide digital single lens reflex bodies and lenses for all participants. Please arrive approximately 15–30 minutes before the class begins. All participants will receive a CD and prints of the images they have taken.
