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…

Landscape Arch, Arches National Park

Landscape Arch, Arches National Park

 The Beyond the Lens Workshops for 2012 have been listed on the website for a few weeks now, but I thought I would mention them here as well and go into some specific details for those who are interested.

First, I’m really happy to be leading a 5 day workshop  in one of my favorite locations, Moab Utah. We’ll be visiting several fantastic locations in the region including Arches National Park, Canyonlands, Dead Horse State Park, and weather permitting the La Sal Mountains. While this is a very popular location for landscape photography, my many visits have proven time and time again that there are endless possibilities for image making. It will be an intense and exhausting week, but the rewards will be worthwhile I am sure.

The Adirondack workshop will be taking place in September this year to take advantage of classic fall color conditions. We’ll be based in Lake Placid once again, and students will have plenty of opportunity to photograph pristine lakes, mountain views, and get a strong feel for intimate forest landscapes.

There are several Lightroom workshops, and I’ll probably be teaching Lightroom 4 as it looks like it will be officially released by the time the workshops are held (if not I’ll cover it anyway). I’ll have an upcoming post soon about my favorite new features in this latest version, they are worth the upgrade!

As always, my priority is to create a fun, relaxed, and stress free environment, where the focus is on you and your photography. I’m happiest when you’re happy and making real progress – there is nothing more important for a successful workshop experience. Past students receive a 10% discount on any future workshops – email me for the code.

I’m working on some new workshops for 2013, including Prince Edward Island in Canada, and The Smoky Mountains in North Carolina -stay tuned.

Any questions or concerns, please let me know in the comments below – thanks for reading!

The 2012 Light and Landscapes Wall Calendar has finally arrived and available for purchase. This is a limited edition calendar since I only make a a small quantity, so if you’re interested in getting one, order soon. So far the reception has been great, and I thank all of you who have placed orders already. The calendar features images mostly made during the past 12-18 months, part of my year long assignment to photograph for the upcoming calendar. Locations include the Hudson Valley, Adirondack’s, Utah, and Nova Scotia.

It’s hard to believe this is my 6th calendar, but they are great fun to design especially selecting the images and matching them with my favorite inspirational quotes. The calendar is also bigger this year than in the past, at a size of 9″ x 12″.

Order yours here!

The Importance of Familiarity In Landscape Photography

May 23, 2011 Photo of the day

It’s been pretty hectic schedule wise since I returned from southern Utah last week, so I really haven’t had much time to finish several articles I have in rough draft on camera lenses and new Lightroom plug-ins. Hopefully I’ll get them done soon as well as a new video podcast featuring a tour of my […]
