Jean (blue shirt, center), was the photographer and photography instructor on the trip. He gathered around him those interested in photographic instruction and walked them through a syllabus on aperture, shutter speed, lighting, principles of composition, and other information, particularly on the use of digital cameras.

Then his group fanned out across the mission house property, shooting photos of flowers, chickens, other seminar participants, with these photos then being critiqued and followed by discussion on photographic needs for publications, in particular.
