MiMi Paris

  Valley artist MiMi Paris has photographed landscapes and people from Arizona to the Mediterranean, criss-crossing America, west to east and north to south exploring National Parks, urban landscapes and making amazing portraits. She’s kicking-off the New Year as host of a new photography walkabout at Boyce Thompson Arboretum Dec. 31.

  The venue is outdoors and informal, and the goal is to share a few basic camera lessons while photographing the gardens. Her walking tour will include time for participants to learn basic camera functions ranging from aperture and exposure to white balance. In addition, participants will be able to get their specific questions answered in a supportive environment – a small group with a friendly camera coach whose goal is to put the fun in camera functions, and eliminate aspects of photography that can be intimidating to beginners.

  “Whether you have a simple ‘point-N-shoot’ camera or a powerful DSLR and just haven’t made it past that automatic setting, we’ll visit a few of my favorite places around the Arboretum looking for Winter color and landscapes and just chatting about cameras and photography. My goal is to help you get more comfortable with your camera and more confident in your images,” said MiMi. “If there is time, we can practice a few posed portrait compositions, too, and I’ll share a ways that I have learned to get natural, but stylish, photos of your family and friends.”

  There’s no additional charge to attend; as with most Arboretum nature walks, MiMi’s new photography walk is included with daily admission of $10, or free to BTA annual members. Spaces are limited, though; MiMi asks that participants RSVP by email to mimi.paris@gmail.com or call her at 480-319-2229 so her group can be contained to a manageable dozen participants. Anyone on her waiting list will be among the first invited to her walks in February, March and April.

  The Arboretum is located at Highway 60 Milepost #223 near the historic copper mining town of Superior, about one hour’s drive due east of Phoenix on the Superstition Freeway.

  Arriving from Tucson? Take Oracle Road North to Highway 79, continue through and past the town of Florence to the junction where Highway 79 meets Highway 60, then turn right and drive another 12 miles East on Highway 60 to our front gate.
