Long Description: 

Our loving witness through spiritual and visual observation informs our appreciation and
awareness of "that of God", and enlivens our being/seeing for our spiritual journeys.
Together and individually we behold the blessed community of FGC Gathering, framing the sacred moments through digital photography. We begin each morning with worship,
then worship sharing responding to queries one of which is "How does the Spirit fare with Thee Friend?". Basic instruction on the use of the digital camera, and inkjet printing will be covered, with a minimal Photoshop introduction. Poetry, and walking mindful meditation on campus with our cameras will be woven into our time together. Perhaps a show of our photographs on Friday afternoon! Bring a few of your favorite photographs to share, as well as digital camera and manual, and a flash drive. Only if you like, bring a tripod and a laptop computer with photo editing software. "God is at Eye Level" by Jan Phillips is a wonderful book for photographic inspiration, though not required. Prepare to behold all God's create-ures!
