Are You Wondering Whether to Update Your iPhone and iPad to the New 12 Operating System?

The IOS 12.1 iPhone/iPad update is available. The .1 means that it is now a good time to update your operating system because some of the initial bugs have been fixed. This new operating system for your Apple mobile devices has some good features, but a few things can be a tiny bit tricky to figure out.

I am offering a workshop to help you smoothly transition to this new update. It is available for iPhones 5S and after and the iPad Mini 2 and later. Learning a new operating system does not have to be a hassle when you have an experienced Apple Creative Trainer to walk you step by step through it.

Haiku iPhoneography Workshop - Ajijic

I think haiku and iPhone photography are perfect partners. With each you are capturing a moment in time. The iPhone means no heavy camera bags, lenses and tripods to carry and distract you. It is with you all the time. Although it has a sophisticated camera, there is a simplicity to "iphoneography," just as there is with haiku.

This three session workshop will help you brush up on your haiku skills, teach you how to make the most of your iPhone (or iPad) camera and how to edit both words and images. You will soon be walking around Lake Chapala capturing those haiku moments.

We also will create journals for our haiku iphoneography. All art supplies are included. Come alone or bring a friend. Each session is 1 ½ hours and can be paid in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos. Space is limited.
