"Be alert, be astonished, share your astonishment." I can't remember where I first came across this advice from fine art and travel photographer Trey Ratcliff. But I do remember it sparked an immediate response. It's like he articulated the mission statement for the Beakerhead photo crew! 2017 was my fourth year volunteering with the Beakerhead photo crew. By sharing highlights and lessons learned, I'll have something besides fading memories to refer to before heading out to photograph Beakerhead 2018.
