Through My Lens: Dubai to the Wilds of Africa
Speaker: Before Julie Picardi's trip to Glacier National Park with her husband Jim in 2012, Jules was happy snapping pictures with her little point and shoot. Then, as they were driving along through the park they saw a silver-tipped grizzly cub, posing on a stump. Jim immediately stopped and handed Jules his DSLR camera to take the picture out of her window. As soon as the shutter button clicked, she looked at the viewfinder and himmediately told Jim that she had to have one of these. Ever since that moment, Jules has been a student of photography with Jim being her first teacher. She has taken courses at the former Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana, to expand her knowledge and loves to participate in workshops in the field. She enjoys helping others new to photography and co-hosts the Digital Training sessions for Mile High Wildlife Photo Club and is also an active committee member working for the annual Share the View Contest. Jules finds beauty in all genres - landscape, architecture, family portraits, travel, etc. - but her favorite subject by far is wildlife.
