Italy Within The Frame
A Week-long Photography Workshop & Tour in Liguria, Italy
April 17-24, 2010

I’m really excited to finally be able to announce a new workshop and tour for 2010. It’s ITALY WITHIN THE FRAME, a one-week workshop & tour in the beautiful Italian Riviera with myself and Jeffrey Chapman. Limited to only 8 participants, this one is going to be one of the highlights of my year. If you’ve ever seen images of this region, you know what a visual treat this is going to be. I’ve had many, many requests for a tour that’s less down and dirty than the India trips, something shorter, and something closer to Europe or North America. So here it is. The initial information is up on the site – take a look and then get back to Jeffrey Chapman, via the website, for more information.

If you’ve been wanting to join me for a week of shooting without going to the developing world, or getting malaria; if red wine and good food in spectacular places are more your speed, then this one’s going to be unforgettable. More information on the website HERE.

Kenya 2010
Come With Me On A Socially Responsible Photographic Safari in Africa
January 9-20, 2010

Several months ago a safari guide named Ryan Snider contacted me about being a guest instructor on a safari in Kenya. Ryan runs socially responsible safaris and grew up in Africa. At the time I had just returned for a too-short week among the Maasai and was eager to go back. And now I am, and you can come with me.

This is not a workshop, it’s a safari. Everyone that comes will be at a different place photographically so my role will be a more informal, organic one as a teacher and guide. Sure y’all have to share me, but it’s like coming on safari with your own photography coach. And if you’re not worn out, we’ll spend evenings talking about your images and how to make them better. If that appeals to you, take a look at the website. We’ll be staying in some fantastic places, and being a socially responsible safari there will be photographic opportunities on offer that you won’t find on other trips.

I’m not running this trip, but the information page is on my website. The trip is run through Able Travel and they’ve got years of experience doing this kind of thing. If the idea of spending 10 days with me sounds like fun, check it out. Americans, note that all prices listed are in CAD, so you’re getting a heck of a deal for an African safari.

Would love to see you there. If interested please contact the travel agency directly but I’d love to hear if you’re coming, so drop me a line too.

See you in Nairobi!
