THE WOODLANDS, TX – Quote of the week: “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop

Looks like the cloudy skies today are going to cave in to the pressure and give us a thundery, wet week starting on Wednesday. However, rain or shine, the Township has tons of amazing events. Here are a few, but be sure to check the weather before heading out, just in case.

Monday, May 18
At Precision Camera’s Light Trix Series-Color Projection Portraits workshop, photographers will learn how to create bold, vibrant portraits by projecting color onto a backdrop while keeping clean, flattering light on the subject – a technique that delivers dramatic results straight out of camera. A live model will be present, giving students hands-on shooting time and portfolio-ready images. You’ll rotate through lighting setups, experiment with different gel combinations, and learn how small changes in distance, angle, and power dramatically affect the final look.
