Another Photography Workshop!

Here is another opportunity for Isla's customers and their friends to attend a fantastic workshop in Puerto Rico! Given by National Geographic photographer, Raul Touzón, who grew up in Puerto Rico, you can be assured that you will walk away from this workshop taking pictures you canreally be proud of! I know! Because I have taken 2 workshops with Raul. He's a wonderful teacher. The workshops combine lectures, shooting in the field and critiques with Raul. The dates for the next workshop are August 15th-21st.

There isn't a lot of time and space is limited, so if you're interested don't wait to register or contact me with your questions! Here's the link for more information on our website.

A Nice Surprise! Check out this Photo!

I got a call earlier this month from a customer looking for a "wearable" Vejigante Mask. We mostly sell the masks as wall decorations, but they are part of a costume for a carnival figure (basically from Ponce) - a Vejigante. Curious, I had to know if the mask was for one of the parades coming up this month...but no!

The mask if for a Dance troupe from York, PA called "Pasos Caribeños" - teens who perform the dances of our region and part of their show includes two costumed vejigantes wearing masks purchased from Isla! Here's the picture - and a link to learn more about them!
