In The Rear View – Oregon Coast Workshop 2018

“To know ahead of time what you’re looking for means that you’re then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting and often false” – Dorthea Lange     Whether The Weather Will Win?   Occasionally when people come into a workshop or anything they are about to photograph for that matter, they come in with a preconception of what they want, and they are only looking for ways to realize that vision. Photography, and especially landscape photography change day by day, hour by hour and even minute by minute. The lighting, weather, time of year, tide, celestial phases along with a whole host of other things will influence your imagery.

Crossing Paths

Crossing signs are one of those things that we see every day and often start to overlook. In my travels, over the years I have come across quite a variety of crossing signs that have caught my eye, so I started to catalog them.

Chile 2018 – A Workshop Review

When Plans Change This year the Chile workshop didn’t exactly go as planned. Twenty-one hours before I was to leave to meet the participants in Patagonia, my flight was canceled due to a strike with LATAM Airlines. Because of this, I wasn’t able to make the first half of the workshop in Patagonia. I emailed the participants the classes we would have had the first day, and did what I could remotely but I wasn’t able to meet them until the second half of the workshop in the Atacama Desert. You can see more about the rerouting and almost 60 hours of travel that was necessary to meet the group in this video. Luckily I work with a great hotel for this trip and have guides and vans set up so they could still continue as closely as possible to the original plan in my absence. Finally Together I arrived
