Pro photographer Maggie Leef will be "artist in residence" in Globe, AZ, for a weekend of photography workshops designed to showcase a few of the unique aspects of this scenic copper-mining city -- and also designed for everyone from beginners to advanced photographers.
"Photographing Historic Buildings of Globe is a two-part workshop designed as an introduction to the historic buildings of our town and ways to photograph them using your digital compact or SLR camera," said Leef. "The first part is an introductory slide show on architectural photography and various field approaches. Common architectural terms, camera settings and post processing/printing ideas will be covered and illustrated with images of downtown buildings; Sunday morning is a photographic walking tour of the historic district of Globe where participants will see and photograph the buildings and apply what they have learned."
Additional $50.00 per person fee for the two-part workshop. 20% discount for second consecutive night booking for this special event. For complete details about the two-part workshop at the Inn, call Rosalie Ayala toll-free 877-780-2479 or 928-425-2260.
High above the Cobre Valley in the shadow of the Old Dominion mine, The Noftsger Hill Inn stands - a monolithic monument to miner, academic, and architect. This majestic building filled with rustic elegance and framed by mining era houses reigns peacefully over Globe, Arizona.
The front rooms provide a panoramic view of the ruggedly beautiful Pinal Mountains. Rear rooms face the Old Dominion Mine, offering a picturesque view of historic mining operations.
Elementary school classrooms in a previous era, guest rooms today are unusually spacious, each with a sitting area and private bath - some with a fireplace. The guest rooms are carefully appointed with our private collection of mining era antiques and art. Original chalkboards in the guest rooms are "decorated" with comments from past guests.
Take a nap in the open and airy surroundings or enjoy reading a book in quiet solitude. For a romantic interlude, snuggle up by the fireplace with a loved one and spend time reminiscing about why you fell in love.
Classrooms provide a perfect work environment for business travelers requiring a well lit work space and the convenience of complimentary wireless internet access.
