Little Bay Islands is a community located in Notre Dame Bay, near Springdale along the north shore of Newfoundland. It is composed of Macks Island, Goat Island, Harbour Island, and Boatswain Tickle Island. The island has a population of about 150. There is a school, fire station, two churches, a bed and breakfast, and a crab processing plant which is the main employer in the community.

The Creative Eye

This workshop explores how the eye, the mind and the camera view the world differently and how to become more conscious of your environment in order to use photographic craft and technique to create expressive images. It is centred on the development of the process of looking, seeing, conceiving and construction of personal vision. It assumes that participants have already attained a reasonable level of proficiency of technique and craftsmanship.
