“The best camera is the one that’s with you.”— Chase Jarvis. For many of us, that camera is the iPhone we carry in our pocket every day. This course will cover setting up your iPhone for shooting better photos, focusing and composition techniques, editing on your iPhone (or iPad if you have fat fingers like me), and how to find your way to shooting in black & white on the streets of Maine. Join the international iPhone photography community. Repeat workshop. Format includes lecture, discussion, and hands-on.

REQUIRED MATERIALS: You will need a relatively up-to-date iPhone and the Snapseed app (free in the app store).

This workshop will examine how individuals and couples can plan for a sustainable income in retirement.

We’ll look at academic concepts in a practical manner and work through a case study that ties it all together. Repeat remote workshop. Format includes lecture.

This workshop will cover key considerations for planning for taxes in retirement.
