It was a fun meet-up for a group of local photographers at SIP Coffee and Beer Garage in Phoenix, AZ. We played a game of Post-Processing Table Topics and shared many great photo editing tips and tricks.
A fun morning photographing the beautiful Salt River wild horses in Mesa, Arizona with a group of lovely ladies. It ended with an effort to save a lost foal that was separated from his mama and was at risk for starvation.
In February, 2019, Adventure Artists International co-founder Susan Schmitz set off on an epic journey throughout Kenya, Africa over the week of her 50th birthday. This trip was hosted by one our favorite safari companies, Wild Eye Destinations.
April returns to the town of Lilydale, South Africa and can hardly believe her eyes! After Africa Foundation helped to renovate the school, the community surrounding it grew exponentially and is now thriving. Her efforts to make a difference through the art that she was inspired to create after her 2011 trip really paid off.
Back in 2011, I set off on my first journey to Africa with the eco-tourism company &Beyond. During this safari, I had the opportunity to go on a local community visit with a representative from Africa Foundation (USA) to tour schools, orphanages and medical centers. It was here that the seeds were planted for what has now grown to become Adventure Artists International.
