If you’d like to travel back in time, join us on this unique day-long photo experience led by Frederick photographer Judy Reisman to shoot the farms, barns and covered bridges of Frederick County, MD.  The morning stops will include two horse farms, one with a bright red barn, the other with a white barn, and both with plenty of photogenic horses; a weathered wooden building that was used in the 1950’s as a general store and is now used as a motorcycle repair shop. On its front porch are displayed memorabilia from the area's rural past.  Across the street is a dilapidated building that was formerly used as the post office for this community that was home to the Amelung glass factory and its workers. Daisy Mae, a rusting old red pickup buried in the vegetation in the back of the old post office, is a most photogenic subject.   
Other stops include an old cemetery overlooking a large, well-preserved wood barn. It was here that local painters often sketched and painted landscapes of the farmland below and Sugarloaf Mountain in the distance. Afterwards, we will visit the barn and shoot its endless photographic possibilities for abstracts and texture. The most memorable stop for many Safarians on this outing is the next stop, a gourmet lunch at an upscale local inn, during which time we will have the opportunity to discuss photo-related topics.

The afternoon session will be no less photogenic as we make a loop through the verdant rolling hills and upper farmland of Frederick County and shoot the three very picturesque extant covered bridges in Frederick County and the creeks they cross.  We will also make several other stops to shoot barns and picturesque landscapes.
 
Register EARLY, this one always fills up quickly.  Please note that if there are any spaces left in the two weeks before the Safari, we will accept registrations from those who wish to do only the morning (farms and barns) or afternoon (bridges, farms and barns) portion.
