OM SYSTEM Kacho Fugetsu Nature Photography RETREAT
August 8-10 North Berwick, Maine
Step away from the noise of everyday life and into the poetic rhythm of the natural world, where every breeze, bloom, birdsong, and insect becomes a muse. Join OM SYSTEM Ambassadors Frank Smith, Emilie Talpin, Steve Morello, Tom Cuchara, and Lisa Cuchara for a photography retreat inspired by the timeless philosophy of Kacho Fugetsu – flower, bird, wind, moon – a celebration of nature’s quiet teachings and the creative spirit it stirs within us.
