Landscape Openings

MonumentValley1845

Sharon & I are taking a small group of photographers to Monument Valley 10-14 March, 2014 to photographically explore a magical world. You will arrive in Flagstaff, AZ which is the airport we will be picking folks up from and taking them back to. Transportation to & from the airport as well as for the week is provided. We are staying at The View and have the best rooms reserved giving those who want to, the opportunity to do time lapse / stars trails (and we’re there to teach you how) as well as sunrises and sunsets. We have no set agenda, that’s one of the trademarks of our workshops, we chase the light but that will over the course of the workshop take us to Monument Valley at the very least. If you’ve seen any of my Kelby Training videos, Romancing the Landscape, then you know that I not only have an intimate knowledge of Monument Valley, but many who call it home are dear friends. That get’s us some amazing photo opps.

The price for instruction & transportation (once in Flagstaff) is $2095. Half is due on registration and the other half is due 30 days out. Information for reserving your room will be provided once you reserve your spot in the workshop. Lodging & food not include in the price.

What do you need for the workshop? Utmost is an adventurous spirit! We’ll be up early and out late shooting and in between, we’ll be learning, laughing and working on images. This will be the most laid back, jammed packed workshop you’ve ever been on! Computers & camera gear are highly recommended and a packet will be sent to you with specific information some time prior to the adventure. Limited to 6, one opening, call 760.924.8632 / 661.204.1506 if you’re up for the adventure in the land of the setting sun!

The Grand Canyon in fall: Sharon & I are taking a small group of photographers to Grand Canyon 1-5 October, 2014 to photographically explore this amazing landscape. You will arrive in Flagstaff, AZ which is the airport we will be picking folks up from and taking them back to. Transportation to & from the airport as well as for the week is provided. We are staying on the South Rim so some of our shooting is a simple walk. We have no set agenda, that’s one of the trademarks of our workshops, we chase the light but that will over the course of the workshop take us to the entire South Rim. We also spend time in the digital darkroom to help you finish your images. The price for instruction & transportation (once in Flagstaff) is $1995. Half is due on registration and the other half is due 30 days out. Information for reserving your room will be provided once you reserve your spot in the workshop.

Yosemite Valley

We are thrilled to be able to offer a fall Yosemite Workshop in 2014! The dates are 05-09, Nov 2014. Our timing is for fall color/winter storms in the Valley, a spectacular event! You would arrive on the 5th for our evening get together and plan on leaving after sunset (dark) on the 9th. The price is $1795 which includes the workshop packet and instruction. Once signed up you would get more info in regards to lodging.

We are talking about a lot of photography (not a bunch of hiking) and some of the best and least known locations. If we’re really lucky, we’ll have a “winter” storm as winter storms blow in great clouds creating gorgeous landscapes. We’ll photograph everything from critters, waterfalls, granite, trees and whatever stops in front of our lenses in color and black and white. We’ll spend time in the digital darkroom answering those kinds of questions and hopefully we’ll get an opportunity for a star trail.

Hope you can join us, we look forward to sharing our decades of wanderings with you. To register, call Sharon at 760.924.8632 / 661.204.1506 (9-5) PST. You will need to pay a deposit of 50% to reserve your spot (we have a couple of openings)!

Griz & Wolf Adventure ’14

Grizzly Bear 32957

In my thirty years, I have never been to such a magical location or magnificent place to be with and photograph grizzly bears! This very unique piece of private property provides opportunities you will find NOWHERE else on Katmai (why Disney was there for ten weeks in 2013).

The Adventure is 08-13 August, 2014. We are going these dates because they are the best for photographing both the griz and wolves salmon fishing. This is biology rarely seen, but at Hallo Bay, something we can count on. It is something you WILL have UP CLOSE and personal.

The price is $6995 and includes photo instruction and bear guide, roundtrip airfare from Homer, AK to/from the lodge, wilderness camp lodging for 5 nights plus meals while at the lodge. We are only taking 5 photographers on this wilderness adventure. There is one spot available. Give Sharon a call 760.924.8632 / 661.204.1506 if you can join us on a once in a lifetime adventure. We won’t be going back until 2016.

Moose is Going to Africa ’14!

_BMP3527 as Smart Object-1
You read correctly, I’m going to Africa and you can come with me! I’ve been invited by the amazing Images in Africa Safaris to be apart of their Oct, 2014 program. Some of you have asked me in the past if I would go to Africa and I typically said no for a number of reasons. Well, Images of Africa Safaris has those issues covered, the biggest being going to a region, the riches in critters while having the ability to travel off the roads in pursuit of the great image. In their words

From the vehicle, or on foot during guide and tracker led bushwalks, guests will photograph and experience African wildlife at a world renowned Private Game Reserve in Namibia or Kruger National Park . Each group size is small enough to allow for personal instruction both in the field and back at the lodge, so join us and enjoy the spectacular wildlife and stunning beauty of the African bush.With up to 20 guide led game drives we are targeting not only photographers but their partners/families, so all skill levels are welcome. We combine both the workshop component targeted to the photographer with the Safari component appealing to all members of the party.

It is our desire to introduce you and your party to the African landscape, its beauty and tranquility and have you experience a once in a lifetime vacation with your partner, yet still combine your passion for photography, wildlife and nature in unbelievably romantic surroundings.

Workshop times have been carefully selected to allow everyone to enjoy Africa, attend all the Game Drives, yet provide family time for walks, watch the Hippo, or simply relax with a good book at the pool. These wildlife and nature photo Safaris are truly for everyone.

Interested? I sure the hell am and can’t wait. For more information or better, to register, follow the instructions here.

Alabama Hills Star Trails Workshop

15-17 Feb, 2013 we’re pulling a couple of all nighters as we stare at the heavens and photograph the stars. We’ll meet in Lone Pine, CA on Friday evening to go over strategies, gear check and howdies and then head to the Alabama Hills for our first all nighter. The next day we’ll meet up long after the sun is up and go through our images, look at the different methods of assembling our previous nights work and get ready for Saturday night shooting. After grabbing an early dinner, we’ll go out for sunset and getting into position for a fun night of shooting and ghost stories. We’ll finish up after breakfast on Sunday morning. The price is $495 which includes preclass materials, instruction and guiding only. This is one workshop where bringing a sleeping bag might just be a must. Look forward to shooting the stars with you! 760.924.8632 / 661.204.1506 9-5 M-F. (no cancelation, refund for bad weather)
