Calling All Young Photographers!

Guy Harvey Resort to Host Youth Photography Workshop
St. Augustine Camera Club (SACC), in cooperation with the Guy Harvey Resorts St. Augustine Beach, announces a Youth Photography Workshop for June 25-29, 2018. The workshop will be held at the new Guy Harvey Resort on Anastasia Island.
This workshop is designed to give youngsters the fundamental techniques of photography. The students will learn – on DSLR cameras provided by Canon – how to manage exposure, focus and composition. They will learn the basics of how to download and process the photos. The instructor will be Ed Beckett, award-winning graphic design teacher at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Class will be held from 8:30 am – 1pm daily, with the afternoon reserved for assignments. Cost for the five-day program is $200. Limited scholarships are available.
The presence of imagery in everyday life is a simple fact – it is a powerful tool of communication able to prompt an instant reaction and convey a large amount of information. Powerful photography can be an art form, but it can also be a language to persuade, amuse or inform. As an activity, photography ticks all the boxes to engage young people. Accessible, yielding instant results, it also has the allure of gadgetry. Learning photography as an art form, or using it to explore a subject or issue, can help young people gain critical skills and open up new levels of meaning and interest in the visual media encountered every day. It is a skill that will come in handy in many fields of study and work.
If you know of youngsters’ ages 12-17 that might benefit from this program, consider sponsoring them (tax-deductible contribution), or recommend the workshop to them. In addition to scholarships from SACC and Guy Harvey Resorts, the Alligator Farm Zoological Park and Florida’s Birding and Photo Fest are each sponsoring a student. Interested students need to submit a short essay – three or four paragraphs – about why they want to improve their photography skills.
Registration and scholarship information are available through the SACC web site at https://www.saintaugustinecameraclub.com/youth-summer-workshop.html

 and <a href="https://guyharveyoutpost.com/lodging/beach-resorts/st-augustine-beach/">Guy Harvey Resort St Augustine Beach</a> are sponsoring two Waterworld Photo Workshops with Ben Hicks, Florida’s premier surf photographer. The workshops, on July 20 and 21, will be from 7:30 – 11:30 am at the Guy Harvey Resort in St Augustine Beach.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/BenHicks-002.jpg"><img src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/BenHicks-002-227x300.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5080" /></a>Based in Boca Raton, Ben is a renowned fine-arts photographer who has traveled to exotic locales to capture the beauty of nature, striving to portray the familiar in original ways, but also taking risks to capture the complex, often dangerous, situations including big waves and precarious animal encounters. Many of his photographic works are centered on ocean subjects, and Ben is particularly focused on using his photography to raise environmental awareness, especially the importance of sea turtle conservation since the turtles are one of the most important indicators of the health of the world’s marine and coastal ecosystems. His work can be seen at <a href="http://www.benjhicks.com">www.benjhicks.com</a>
Ben will speak to the July meeting of the camera club on Thursday, July 19, and teach the workshops the following two days. In the workshop, he will be discussing camera techniques, gear, lighting and post-processing. He welcomes photographers of all skills, and says to bring any camera (including smartphones) that you would like to use for the workshop. Ben will also have some waterproof covers to loan registrants. Many of the techniques discussed can be applied to any camera. Attendees can plan to get wet if they have a proper housing or camera, but others can shoot beach and wave photography from the shore line. After the beach photo session, registrants will move inside to hear Ben’s basic editing methods and advanced post-processing tips.
The cost of the workshop is $50 for SACC members, $75 for non-members. To register, go to http://www.saintaugustinecameraclub.com/workshops--fieldtrips.html. To book rooms visit

![](mailto:?subject=Goofy foot sur-furs hit St Augustine Beach for a cause!&body=On Saturday July 21st Dogs and their Owners hit the beach to “Hang 20” for charity at St Augustine Beach, one of the best dog-friendly beaches along the East Coast offering perfect beginner level waves. Gathering directly outside the new <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com">Guy Harvey Resort</a>, beginners, first-timers and seasoned water dogs with their humans, joined Guy Harvey Resorts, <a href="http://www.surfstation.com">Surf Station</a>, <a href="http://www.Titosvodka.com">Tito’s Vodka</a>, <a href="http://www.k9sforwarriors.org">K9s for Warriors</a>, <a href="http://www.fauxpaws1.com">Faux Paws Pet boutique</a>, <a href="http://www.petco.com">Petco</a>, and <a href="http://www.delmarvethospital.com">Del Mar Veterinary</a> to raise money and awareness for K9s for Warriors, a local 501c-3 organization.
K9s for Warriors provides service canines to military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disability, traumatic brain injury, and other traumas as a result of military service post-9/11. They are the nation’s largest provider of service dogs for disabled American veterans and credited with matching 323 military veterans with their service dogs. The dogs are rescued directly from shelters, other rescue organizations, and select breeders. The dogs perform a multitude of tasks for their owners, including helping them to cope with panic attacks, waking them from night terrors, enhancing their physical mobility, and easing their anxiety in social situations.
Four-legged and two-legged contestants alike participated and took the term “goofy foot” sur-fur to another level while entertaining all with their personalities and talents. All shapes and sizes participated from a Miniature Australian Shepherd named Roxy to a 100-pound American Bulldog named Rocky. Dogs competed for prizes and awards provided by Faux Paws pet boutique, Starfish Vision maker of the Guy Harvey dog collar, Jared Jeffs Photography and Petco. There was even one dog loving cat on a leash named Boogie.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018_07_21_pups-and-sups_678-706_29849494418_o.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5191" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018_07_21_pups-and-sups_678-706_29849494418_o-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>
The Event kicked off with Captain Scott Cushine, the Adventure Coordinator at the Guy Harvey Resort St Augustine Beach and his helpful young mermaid Aria, playing a conch shell, the bagpipe of the sea, to signal the start of the event. A low, haunting blast rolled above the waves then faded into the distance as the competitors lined up and waited to hear their names called.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018_07_21_pups-and-sups_709-724_41911065300_o.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5192" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018_07_21_pups-and-sups_709-724_41911065300_o-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>
Then, the fun began as sure-footed and not so sure-footed dogs with their owners all competed to show off their style and skills for celebrity judges, who decided was worthy of moving on to the next heat. There was Chris Johnson from American Ninja Warriors, beloved St Augustine Author Gary Williams with his celebrity 4-legged sidekick Guen, and Faux Paws owners Mark and Lynn Small.

Many locals cheered on local favorite as Jake Scott, the yellow lab who surfed backwards and held his own leash, which is now affectionally called “The Leash Grab” within the St Augustine Surf Community. But all dogs were not local like first time sur-fur Jinks, who traveled from Gainesville to take park of the event and Lily from Stuart, who brought her own hot pink Hawaiian printed life vest and surfboard complete with custom paw print decals. She could hang 20 with the best of them!

Judges watched for best solo surfing, best tandem, best style, rookie of the year, crowd favorite, best wipe out, best trick, longest rides and more. A fun time was enjoyed by all and Guy Harvey Resorts is already preparing for next year’s event in July 2019. Watch for detail and don’t miss a fun day at the beach with your 4 -legged friends when visiting St Augustine Beach.

![](mailto:?subject=Calling All Pups: Stand Up for Warriors&body=Prop your pup on your paddleboard and race for fun, glory, prizes and to support a worthy canine cause at the first annual Pups & Sups event July 30 on St. Augustine Beach.
Humans and their pets will compete to see who can ride the biggest wave, take the longest ride, cruise in highest style, and take the best wipe-out-- among other categories-- in this family-friendly competition. Proceeds will benefit <a href="https://www.k9sforwarriors.org/">K9s for Warriors</a> -- a Ponte Vedra non-profit dedicated to supplying combat veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan with service dogs that ease their adjustment into civilian life.
Paw-ticipants will be divided into weight divisions: large dogs (51 lbs. and up); medium dogs (21 -50 lbs.); and small dogs (20 lbs. and under). They will be launched by their owner/handler, with winners in each weight division advancing to the finals.
Registration is $40. Check-in time will be 7:30 a.m. at 860 A1A Beach Boulevard-- future site of the <a href="https://guyharveyoutpost.com/lodging/beach-resorts/st-augustine-beach/">Guy Harvey Outpost Resort, St. Augustine Beach</a>. Competition will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m.

Tahoma Guiry says it should be a fun time for both people and dogs. Guiry--chief marketing officer and education director of K9s for Warriors-- says she and her three kids aged 11-18 really enjoy paddleboarding with their 1 1/2-year old Labradoodle Nash. The family adopted Nash last year after he washed out of the organization's rigorous training program for service dogs --("He got guarded with his toys, so I took him home," Guiry explained.) Today Nash fits right in with the Guirys and their other dog and enjoys SUP-ing on local lakes.
"He just chills out and goes along for the ride," Guiry said. "He loves the water and loves being with people and our family."
Since launching in 2011, K9s for Warriors has matched 323 military veterans with service dogs-- mostly pets from shelters, other rescue organizations, and a few breeders. The dogs perform a multitude of tasks for their warriors who may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, brain injury and other conditions. The dogs help them avoid panic attacks, wake them from night terrors, enhance their physical mobility, and ease their anxiety in social situations.
U.S. Army veteran Matt Berg of St. Augustine was paired with his Labrador-mix service dog Sunny last year. At 98 pounds, Sunny is too big to ride Berg's surfboard with him, but Berg says "he's a good dog....always there....a good companion."

![](mailto:?subject=Surf Fishing in the Nation’s Oldest City&body=A great advantage of being a Florida native and living on the coast is the abundance of fishing opportunities our state offers. Whether it’s fishing on the open ocean, lake, river, or fishing from the surf, Florida has a thriving ecosystem that provides anglers an array of fishing experiences. As Florida begins its summer months, I’ve already landed a few pompano, redfish, and whiting on the Atlantic side of the state. While I’ve mostly fished the intercoastal waterway, I recently had the opportunity to learn more about surf fishing alongside Guy Harvey Resorts Pro Guide, Noel Kuhn. Guy Harvey Resorts St. Augustine Beach offers an excellent surf fishing academy for anglers of all experience levels at its resort location. As a founding member of the Florida Surf Casters Club and an expert in surf fishing techniques, Noel will hook you on this sport and have you casting up to 600 feet by the end of your lesson.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/LRM_EXPORT_71321871609650_20190627_163932553.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5336" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/LRM_EXPORT_71321871609650_20190627_163932553.jpeg" alt="" width="779" height="778" /></a>Photo by Katie McCafferty
The beautiful pristine coastline of St. Augustine Beach is well known as one of Florida’s premier fishing destinations, which makes it an excellent location for an early morning surf fishing excursion. I met Noel on the beach just north of Anastasia State Park before dawn and began the process of finding the prime location. After choosing our spot near the runout, Noel demonstrated the proper cutting and baiting techniques when using a fresh assortment of blue crabs, clams, sand fleas, and small fish.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/LRM_EXPORT_71499200935468_20190627_164229882.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5338" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/LRM_EXPORT_71499200935468_20190627_164229882.jpeg" alt="" width="1496" height="999" /></a>Photo by Katie McCafferty
Throughout the summer months, surf anglers on Florida’s east coast can expect to catch a wide variety of species including redfish, flounder, jacks, whiting, seatrout, and sharks. Due to differences in fish species size, diets, and depths at which they feed, each pole is outfitted with specialized rigging. Noel shared factors such as hook size, test, lures, and types of sinkers that affect your probability of catching fish. Having the proper surf fishing gear combined with the knowledge of fish species migrations are essential to hooking the fish you’re targeting.
As an accomplished surf angler, Noel specializes in long distance casting techniques and demonstrates on multiple rigs the importance of mastering the timing, technique, and tempo of your cast. Regardless of your skill level, he will teach you how to cast long distances and effectively land within the prized sandbar location. An additional benefit of attending the Guy Harvey Outpost Angler Academy is learning from Noel’s expertise in reading the structures of waves and tides and checking for differences in surf to locate the runout and sandbars.

AUGUSTINE BEACH, FL—NOVEMBER 17, 2015—Malcolm Berg and his award winning design firm E0A, Inc., have been selected to create the interior design of the new Guy Harvey Outpost Beach Resort, schedule to debut in the Spring of 2016. Formerly the Holiday Isle Resort, the 152-room property will feature the adventure lifestyle of Guy Harvey, a world renowned marine artist, documentarian, underwater explorer, marine scientist and conservation advocate.
The resort’s new design concept, according to Berg, “is about new discoveries, about finding the unexpected, about looking beneath the surface to find new perspectives.” Adds Mark Ellert, president of Outpost, “Malcolm is the new voice of design. He’s deconstructing traditional hospitality design, replacing it with the synthesis of art, architecture, technology and cultural narrative that we refer to as social design.”
The project scope entails a complete renovation, including the resort’s registration building, meeting spaces and the poolside bar. Berg said plans call for “lightening up the feeling of cramped compartmentalized public spaces, creating more connectivity to the outdoors and encouraging a carefree, respectful, nature-loving lifestyle as embodied by Guy Harvey.”
The Guy Harvey Outpost Beach Resort, St. Augustine Beach will join the company’s Signature Collection brand The other Guy Harvey Outpost Signature resorts are located in St. Pete Beach and Islamorada. The Guy Harvey Outpost Beach Resort St. Augustine is owned and managed by affiliates of Tampa based, HI Development. https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/celebrated-resorthospitality-designer-malcolm-berg-selected-for-guy-harvey-outpost-resort-st-augustine-beach-conversion/){kind=link}
