TENTATIVE WORKSHOP LISTING
(details subject to change)
-----------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, I will not be offering a workshop in 2013. However, I am making plans to offer a spring 2014 workshop. This listing is tentative and subject to change. I will continue to plan and manage my personal schedule. I will finalize the details of this workshop later (approx. June/July 2013).

I will send announcements out to those who have expressed interest. If you want to be placed on my announcement list, please contact me.

This workshop will focus on night photography of the stars and land-based objects as well as classic daylight landscape photography. We will shoot within and just outside of Big Bend National Park.

At this time of year, the Milky Way rises a few hours before dawn. We will leave early (approx. 5am) and travel to a nearby location to photograph the dark night sky.

This workshop will be led by Marti Jeffers and myself. She and I will co-teach for 6 days and lead the group in field shoots and classroom sessions (including critiques of images taken during the workshop).

This workshop will focus on a wide variety of photography, including landscapes (wide angle, normal focal lengths, intimate scenes, etc), abstracts, macro, details, motion blurring, and night photography. These topics will be covered by Marti and myself. We each have our own styles of photography and strengths in those areas. We will bring this body of knowledge to you therefore covering a wide range of photographic styles and topics.
