In this lunchtime mini-session, Jim Walzack will share images, stories and tips from his recent travels to Antartica and the Faroe Islands. Antarctica, with its other-worldly landscapes filled with glaciers, mountains, seals, penguins and more, ranks high on the bucket lists of many photographers. Likewise, the Faroe Islands, a small archipelago in the North Atlantic between Scotland and Greenland, is like a world apart. Offering photographers a majestic landscape of mountains, fjords, waterfalls, and moody sea and weather scapes, the Faroes have become a prime destination for adventuresome photographers.
Bio:
After a career in international business, Jim has been pursuing his passion for landscape and wildlife photography as a resident Cape Cod photographer, photographing Cape wide.
