I’m limiting my workshops this year to these four, my Kenyan Safari (keep reading for details), the annual Lumen Dei trip to Northern India, and one we’re still planning, to Mexico for Day of the Dead. And maybe Kathmandu again. If you’d like to spend time with me in a small group setting working on your vision and your craft, these are hard to beat and some of the best values out there.

ITALY & CROATIA WITHIN THE FRAME

My partner in crime, Jeffrey Chapman, has just posted an announcement about the Spring 2011 photographic expeditions we’re leading. I’m stoked about this Spring! Last year was amazing. Small groups of incredible people who became fast friends, amazing photography, the kind of learning that only happens when talented people all rub off on each other, and the food! Oh my gosh the food! I’d be willing to bet no photography tour eats and drinks as well as we do.

This year we’re doing 4 very different locations, so you can do one of them, two of them, or 4 of them should you feel inclined. We’ll go from Liguria to Tuscany to Venice, and then 5 lucky people will join us on a 50-ft yacht to sail and photograph (and eat!) our way down the Croatian coast!

Here’s Jeffrey Chapman’s announcement about the Spring tours:

I’m thrilled to finally announce the Within The Frame photo expeditions that David duChemin and I will co-lead next spring. There are four exciting back-to-back week-long tours. The first three are in Italy, including a tweaked repeat of this year’s tour in Liguria, and one, the final week, is in Croatia. You can participate in one of these photo expeditions, or two, or three or come and enjoy the entire four weeks with us. However, please note the space is limited (to just eight participants for each of the weeks in Italy and then to just five participants for the sailing adventure – yes, sailing adventure! – in Croatia).

These photo expeditions won’t be rushed tours in which we tell you to plant your tripod here and point your lens there. We’re going to linger and absorb the places we visit. We’ll take our time. We’ll photograph. We’ll talk, discuss and work to develop our vision and our craft for the duration of each of these photo expeditions.

Clicking on any of the tour graphics below will open each photo expedition’s mini-site in a new window (or tab) where you’ll find full itineraries and details. For additional information or questions email David and me by clicking here.

I can’t wait for these trips! So who’s coming with us? And if Italy or Croatia is not your thing and you’re feeling the need to have the warm African sun on your face as you photograph the animals, landscapes, and people of East Africa, you can join me in Kenya this February instead.

KENYA SAFARI – January 2011

From January 22 to February 01 I will be partnering with Safari Guide Ryan Snider for another photographic safari in Kenya. Last year’s trip changed my life and I am literally counting the days until I am back on the Serengeti. You can join me. I won’t repost all the details here. Follow the link HERE for more information on this extraordinary trip. If you’re looking to do an amazing safari, this one is among the least expensive I’ve seen, though we don’t skimp and returning to a luxury tented camp at the end of a day of shooting to look at photographs and have a cold drink is one of the rare pure pleasures in life I’d love to see you there with me!

These trips sell-out faster and faster each year, so if you’re thinking about one of them – or all of them! – don’t delay in getting the info and an application. If you have questions feel free to leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them but the best bet is to follow the links, or get the info from Jeffrey Chapman or Ryan Snider themselves through the websites.
