Session 215: Postcards from the Backroads with Tricia Zeigler
Texas photographer, Tricia Zeigler will discuss her escape from the big city to living in a small town and how that led to her interest in exploring and photographing local backroads.
Trish has had the unique opportunity to witness how population growth and industrial development impact a small town and rural landscapes, and how photography plays an important role in providing a visual record by documenting those changes over time. She’ll share stories behind some of her favorite images and hopes that viewers will be inspired to appreciate and explore their own local backroads.

    Love this talk - one of the best I’ve seen. I’m inspired once again. I know the movements and the technical stuff but I get frustrated when I don’t get what I envision so this was so helpful to me to know that others feel that same pain at times. I will be shooting many more images of the same subject with different movements and settings to compare. And I too love, love, love my lensbabies ❤ Thanks so much for this wonderful video!!!
