Join me, Charlie Bush, for a small-group photo experience crafted around light, texture, and mood. Fall in the swamps is unpredictable — and that’s part of the magic. On the best mornings, we find ourselves immersed in fog, where the landscape becomes a soft, monochrome tapestry, and the cypress trees emerge like ghostly silhouettes. Other days bring mist — and when the rising sun burns through it, the light takes on an almost fire-like quality, creating glowing, ethereal scenes unlike anything else.
