GOLDENROD WORKSHOP
Dates: August 1-7, 2010
Location: Lisa will be teaching a workshop on creating a text-photo package for publication. Learn how to combine your photography and writing skills to get your work published in magazines, newspapers and on the Internet. You will do real field work on simulated assignments, then prepare stories and photos for submission to an editor. Classroom time will emphasize the key aspects of article writing, including developing a strong lede, compelling descriptive prose, story flow, style and structure. You will also learn what makes a good editorial image and how to capture it in your camera.

Be entertained and inspired by Lisa's adventures while seeing her extraordinary photographs (often of rare or endangered flora and fauna)! Lisa is a popular speaker at conferences, schools, community gatherings, fund-raisers and club meetings. Choose from the following topics or ask her to create a custom presentation:

Hiking with Dogs
Based on Lisa's popular book, Best Hikes with Dogs: New Hampshire & Vermont (The Mountaineers Books, 2005), this lively presentation takes you hiking with 16 different canine friends. As Lisa delights you with panoramic views, long ridge walks, lush forests and pristine ponds, you'll learn the essentials of keeping a pet safe and healthy in the backcountry. You'll also learn how to be courteous around others (dogs and people), and how the ethics of Leave No Trace and other "dog-mas" affect you as a dog owner in the mountains. After the slide show, Lisa shows samples of hiking gear for your dog.

Vermont's Long Trail
Based on Lisa's book, Hiking the Green Mountains (FalconGuides, 2009), this entertaining, scenic slide show takes you along Vermont's 272-mile Long Trail which follows the high spine of the Green Mountains. Lisa gives away her secret finds and favorite spots while explaining the challenges and rewards of putting a guidebook together.

Trekking the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia
In November 2006, Lisa traveled through north-central Ethiopia to the Simien Mountains, a national park and World Heritage Site. During her trek, she climbed three 14,000-footers in four days while photographing endemic Gelada baboons and critically endangered Walia ibex, as well as other flora and fauna native to this little-known region. This presentation takes you along 2,000-foot cliffs and across high plateaus, through remote grass-hut villages and deep into a land speckled with volcanic plugs that rise like stone pillars among the mountains. Along the way, you'll learn about the local culture and the challenges facing these isolated hardworking people.

Trekking the Cordillera Blanca, Peru
In May 2008, Lisa hiked the Santa Cruz path, a classic trek through the heart of the Cordillera Blanca region of Peru. Through this slide show, you will get a taste of Huaraz during Saint Soledad's celebration, then follow Lisa into the mountains as she retraces an ancient Incan trade route over Punta Union Pass (4,750 meters). Along the way she photographed over 200 species of wildflowers, many of them unnamed and not scientifically cataloged, though most are used by locals to cure everything from indigestion rash to liver disease.

Kilimanjaro via the Western Breach
In August 2009, Lisa climbed to the summit of Kilimanjaro (19,342 feet), the highest peak in Africa. Her assignment was to observe and photograph the mountain's famous snowfields, which have become the poster glaciers for global warming. But are Kili's glaciers receding due to global warming or a normal 200-year cycle? Judge for yourself as you follow Lisa's climb through the mountain's five ecosystems, then continue to the summit via the newly re-opened Western Breach route, a challenging climb up rock, scree and talus.
