Spring in the woods of Maine is an exciting time for creativity. Each May, the woods come alive with new growth that will inspire any photographer. Colorful wildflowers, blooming trees, streams, waterfalls, the night sky, and local culture all make for fantastic photo opportunities as we explore, learn, and create in and around the rural town of Solon, Maine.
Solon, Maine will host this Adventure: a four-day workshop featuring hands-on instruction during daily field trips, in-depth classroom discussion, and professional guidance from Hunt’s Photo’s Director of Photo Adventures Don Toothaker in a rustic, relaxed atmosphere.
Solon is a small town at the edge of some of Maine’s premier wilderness areas. Once home to a vibrant farming and logging industry, Solon is now a quiet village that caters to outdoorsman and eco-tourism year round.
