Troy has lived next to the Milwaukee River Greenway for nearly 20 years...it's where he trailruns, and where he makes photos a LOT. So, it seems absolutely fitting that he is teaching a photo-workshop with Milwaukee Riverkeeper that is about getting outdoors and photography!
Come out on JUNE 13+14 and improve your photo-skills with this Photo Crash Course (aimed at people just getting started with interchangeable-lens cameras)! There's a two-hour class on Saturday, and a two-hour photo-hike on Sunday...let's get outside and make some photos!

Troy has been teaching adults how to improve their photo-skills for 25+ years; he's been trailrunning and hiking since he was a kid, and now he's bringing all those interests together with the Photo Crash Course, a 2-session photo-workshop on June 13+14! Attend a 2-hour class on Saturday, and a 2-hour photo-hike along the Milwaukee River on Sunday...and on Monday, you will have leveled up!

This looks like a place worth visiting, and it's right down in the Historic Third Ward, at the Marshall Building!

Representation matters, so this is some darn good history.
Thanks for the reporting, Milwaukee Record!

“We liked to say that the show was ‘by, for, and about Q***rs.’ There was no ‘straight filter’ applied.”

Interesting history (and present)...

June 2nd is American Indian Citizenship Day.

June 2, 1924, President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act, granting U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans — more than 130 years after the Constitution was ratified without extending that right to Indigenous people.

The Brothertown Indian Nation became US citizens on March 3, 1839, making them the first Native American tribe to formally receive United States citizenship, 85 years before other nations. The Brotherton requested this status to protect their homeland in Wisconsin from being seized and to avoid forced relocation further west. In exchange for citizenship and dividing their communal reservation land into individual private plots, the US government dissolved the tribe's official political status.

Because of this 1839 act, the Brothertown Indian Nation remains active in their long-running pursuit to regain official federal recognition from the US government today.
