| There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace. The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost forgotten, the open door to waterways of ages past and a way of life with profound and abiding satisfaction. – Sigurd Olson |

This unique Boundary Waters Photo Workshop trip is a great opportunity to develop your
photography skills under the direction of renowned magazine and nature photographer
Layne Kennedy. A Minneapolis-based professional photographer, Layne's newest book

Wilderness by canoe, develop photography skills, and immerse yourself in the
wondrously photogenic natural beauty of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Trip cost per person is $1,175 and includes your first and last night's stay in an Ely
lakeshore lodge, expert photo guidance from Layne, four days and three nights of fully

digital but film is fine. However, no film processing is available. A variety of lenses such
