Take a photo walk on the wild side with Brian Peterson:
Grab your camera and enjoy an evening in the Twin Cities, exploring local nature, capturing the hidden magic, and learning about outdoor photography with Minnesota's own Brian Peterson.
"I live in two worlds, that of a photojournalist working high energy news, sports and political events, and that of a nature photographer, often working alone, in silence, waiting for that perfect expression of our natural wonders. Photographs can be a reminder of the natural beauty around us, from the delicate details of a budding tamarack tree in bog country to the grandeur of the milky way illuminating the night sky over the Mississippi headwaters at Itasca State Park. This short walk, with your camera, will help you record the beauty off nature all around us."
