Your only responsibility is to make sure that you and your camera simply show up.

Savannah and Jekyll Island, Georgia - April 11 - 16, 2010

Special Pricing - $995 (Regular Price $1395) Completed!

With this workshop you get it all - an amazing cross section of Savannah and its surrounding areas.   With shoots of historic Savannah, beaches, night scenes and night life, cemeteries, parks, old plantations and lighthouses, this is one workshop that is sure to please. 

Immortalized by the best seller, 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,' Savannah is an 18th century village that lives resolutely in the present.  The city brings together an exotic history, a sub-tropical natural environment and an obvious desire to keep true to its Southern traditions.  Savannah is arguably one of the South's most charming cities with its architectural treasures, luxurious hospitality, low country cuisine and one-of-a-kind lodging.  The city offers a smorgasbord of urban as well as natural landscapes. Flower gardens, public parks and centuries old cemeteries punctuate the landscape of Savannah.  Everywhere you turn, there is something to photograph.

Canadian Rockies - August 14 - 20, 2010

Special Pricing - $1095 (Regular Price $1595)

Discover the Canadian Rockies - Towering over the plains of Alberta and British Columbia are the peaks of the Canadian Rocky Mountains - mighty, rugged, exquisite. This is a mountain range that easily ranks as one of the most extravagantly beautiful mountain ranges on earth. It's obvious how the Rockies got their name. Awesome forces of nature combined to thrust wildly folded sedimentary and metamorphic rock up into ragged peaks and high cliffs. Add glaciers and snowfields to the lofty peaks, carpet the valleys with forests, mix in a generous helping of small and large mammals, wildflowers, rivers, and crystal-clear lakes, and you've got the recipe for the Canadian Rockies.

This workshop will heighten the senses and get the photographic juices flowing.  The views of the exquisite beauty that you will capture will leave you breathless.  From glaciers, aqua glacial lakes, sweeping valleys and snow capped peaks, you will never forget this experience. When we aren't in the field, you will learn about topics such as visual design, composition, seeing light and even digital workflow with Lightroom and Photoshop. Yes, this is a photography workshop, but that is not all - this week will touch you in a way you never imagined possible.

Death Valley National Park - October 16 - 21, 2010

Special Pricing - $895 (Regular Price $1395)

Death Valley is touted as ‘The Land of Extremes.’  Basically, it’s hot.  Really hot.  In fact, during the summer it is one of the hottest places on earth.  Temperatures can reach in excess of 130 degrees Fahrenheit.  But it isn’t the Death Valley summer that quickens the photographer’s pulse and makes one’s heart leap a little in his chest.  Nope, it is the cooler winter that makes this place so special to the photographer.  From the sprawling salt flats that reside in excess of 200 feet below sea level to the 11,000 foot snow capped peaks, this place is a photographer’s dream.  Death Valley is the hottest, driest, and lowest place on earth.  This is a desert of streaming sand dunes, snow-capped mountains, multicolored rock layers, water-fluted canyons and 3 million acres of wilderness – just a few of the reasons this majestic place makes for an amazing photo workshop.
