Mesa Rise, Canyonlands
I’m in Moab Utah for another 5 days leading the Spring in Arches Photo Workshop. So far it’s been a fantastic experience for me, with a great group of passionate photographers. We’re visiting Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse State Park, and a special canyon in the area with beautiful running creek. Days are long, starting at 4:30am and we’re not in bed until 10pm, but the inspiration and magic of the area keeps us going.
I’ll be sharing more photos from students and stories in the coming weeks…

"Dangerous Eyes" - ©Peter Geller Photography
Fellow photographer, student, and friend Peter Geller has a show this month at RiverWinds gallery in my hometown of Beacon, NY. Peter photographs many different subjects, but his wildlife images are particularly striking and look great in print. I had a chance to stop by the gallery this week and check out his latest work. It’s always great to see local photographers that I know personally and have also had the privilege of having as students getting their work out there and seen by others. As I and many others have said so many times, a large part of becoming successful is showing up, and Peter is doing exactly that with both his enthusiasm for wildlife and his presentation.
If you’re in town, be sure to stop by the gallery and check it out.
